Sardine is dead but the reasons why it was created are alive, probably
now even more than before.

Let's analyze the problems in the Sardine plan and implementation
(thanks for the initial shot Murray, more feedback is welcome). Let's
react accordingly in a new plan, defined together with all the
stakeholders of such project.

There have been some email discussions in the past and there are some
ideas around this concept at
http://wiki.maemo.org/2010_Agenda#Openness.2C_openness.2C_openness and
probably somewhere else. Once the Sardine tears are dry we can start
planning form a second attempt, this time successful.
