Thoughts. Since the results are more important than the name, I would
take "Maemo" out of the label. This way there is less risk of users
confused about the official status of the variants created and less
risks of people at Nokia concerned about this project. Which means at
the end a more comfortable context of collaboration between community
and Nokia developers without the "product" on top.

Note that what needs to be build is less of "one community edition" and
more of an mechanism to create editions, or "variants" as we have been
calling them at http://wiki.maemo.org/Objective:Maemo_variants . Am I right?

In this context "Bazaar" sounds to me very much http://bazaar-vcs.org/

OS Remixes - os-remixes.garage.maemo.org ?
