Very true. We had the option to wait until the Brainstorm was ready (and
we actually waited several months) or stop waiting, go for it and feel
the pain. With the N900 sales start the bugs.maemo.org activity has
increased and many bugs turned to be enhancement requests. I thought it
was better to address that problem NOW rather than wait some weeks
(months?) more until we are totally fine with Brainstorm. And them have
to deal with hundreds of recent feature requests filed in Bugzilla.

What makes me wonder is how Reggie came up with a search that beats the
search engine we are paying to Google: http://talk.maemo.org/msearch.php
and why we are not implementing it for all the rest.

At least now there is http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/dashboard/ ,
a page that I'm sure you have ideas to improve.
