</div>I agree with Quim here. There is no way to successfully replicate all<br>
the hard work done on Maemo.org. Bring other projects in and make it<br>
bigger.<br></blockquote></div><br></div>It is a little naive of me but as long as we have lots of users with interest on the <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a>, Nokia will also. <br><br>Just the fact that so many new harmattan users found maemo to be their home tells about how good this community is.<br>
I am actually more concerned with the future of <a href="http://meego.com" target="_blank">meego.com</a> than <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> <br><br>The one part of <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> that (especially as a developer) frustrates me is the extras "promotion" - I don't think giving super power to a couple users is the answer (it may be a band-aid for now). It is a larger problem and has been for a quite a while. I think the decision of installing something that is "devel" quality, "testing" quality or "extras" quality should be left to the user on an application basis (maybe something like a "stability indicator" next to the "user rating" is all that is needed. We should try again to work with whatever is left of meego (appsformeego, obs, ...) <br>
<br>I don't think we need garage either (there are so many other places that can be used, like the projects @ <a href="http://nokia.com" target="_blank">nokia.com</a>).<br><br>Ultimately, I think the goal should to aggregate and not disperse. <br>
<br>Just wanted to add my 2ct - I don't think <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> is dead!<br></blockquote></div><br>Hi Felipe,<br><br>It is nice to see so many people returning back to maemo and taking an interest in making it better.<br>
