I disagree. The platform (and its integration) is related to hardware. So, targeting device vendors, and enabling hobbyist integrators (who are not end users) is the right thing to do. The development of any applications or libraries is not an integration issue as such - the target audience for applications will be device users, and the target community will be application developers/coders. They're different audiences and it's best not to mix the code & integration projects, IMHO. > Omitting the end user and expecting manufacturers to step in and work > for example on UI and etc. failed in case of Meego as we can see. At > least it failed for fully open UIs (if you count Nokia's attempt as one). What do you mean by "the end user" in this case? Debian as a community targets Debian packagers and maintainers, who are also Debian users, but they're hardly your typical users.
