Excellent summary - I add another two ;) Though I have to admit not having had anything to do with the extras stuff so I do not feel the same pain as other seem to do but I still see the reasoning and the above hits the spot. The freedom we have with open Source and Maemo is also the freedom not to do things the way others (whoever that is) meant it to be done. You can follow - but you do not have to. > Aldon Cheers nils >> -----Original Message----- >> From: maemo-developers-boun...@maemo.org >> [mailto:maemo-developers-boun...@maemo.org]on Behalf Of ianaré sévi >> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 12:21 PM >> To: Benoît HERVIER >> Cc: maemo-developers@maemo.org >> Subject: Re: Deleting Project PyGTKEditor from Garage >> >> >> That's the beauty of the n900, you CAN do exactly what you're doing, >> and the only consequence is some disappointed devs on a mailing list >> (IOW - none). >> >> However, if you want to have your app included in the 'mainline', >> expect to suffer a little.
