[maemo-developers] Maemo "Reconstructed"

[From: Carsten Valdemar Munk]

For the last week I've been working on a proposal for a possible  
future system architecture of Maemo, covering areas such as boot  
process, base system, user experience base and SDK.

This was sparked by the discussions in  
https://wiki.maemo.org/Mainstream_Linux_Alignment ,  
http://qgil.jaiku.com/presence/47635104
and my last post to this list,  
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2008-October/035409.html

You can view, edit and contribute (or object to parts) to to the  
proposal on http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Reconstructed

Our goal with this wiki page is to bring together Nokia and community  
developers who have an interest in the Maemo platform and reach a  
vision of the future Maemo system architecture that's satisfying to  
both Nokia and the community.

The proposal covers the low level technical system goals (use of  
booting process, busybox/coreutils, kernel features etc.), and not  
high level stuff like "Ogg support", or "open source everything".

The process is called Maemo "Reconstructed", as to indicate we can  
remix parts from and disassemble the current Maemo platform and  
augment it until we get a vision that would be fitting as the future  
of the Maemo platform.

The idea is not to see this proposal as one individuals proposal, but  
as a proposal you can participate in, contribute to, object against  
unrealistic parts or alter based on your expert knowledge - nothing is  
set in stone as long as your criticism and contribution is  
constructive, researched and documented.

It is intended to be a unified vision that Nokia and the community  
will agree upon and I hope you will participate in this to make it so.
