</div>I think it is more that the answer will depend on what the community wants,<br>
and the community will not have an opinion until they have some experience. I<br>
don't think anyone thinks there will be a separate place for Harmattan but it<br>
is not yet clear whether MeeGo or Maemo are the most natural homes.<br>
<br>
For example, there appears to be an issue about whether Harmattan will<br>
actually use the MeeGo name or not (and, if so, whether it will be hidden in<br>
small print somewhere or trumpeted as a feature). There has been some<br>
discussion about it, but I have not seen any recent definitive statement, nor<br>
do I expect one until the device ships.<br>
<br>
My **personal** view is that Harmatten will end up here. Recent discussions<br>
in MeeGo seem to have tended towards the view that the MeeGo lists and sites<br>
are not the place for discussion of (let alone support of) specific devices<br>
(whether for end users or developers). Not to mention some downright<br>
hostility towards Harmattan (and, to some extent, Nokia).<br>
<br>
In my mind the only way MeeGo would be a home for Harmattan might be if Nokia<br>
make "MeeGo" a major end-user marketing feature of the device (so, for<br>
example, app compatability becomes an interesting discussion point).<br>
Personally I don't think that is likely but we won't know until it ships.<br>
