[maemo-developers] Projects Nokia should support (yours?)

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

i see many ports in that list, not only Xournal, but also scummvm etc.

While these are nice apps, i really wonder about the fact that Nokia is planning
to advertise their new plattform with the fact that it now can run software
that has been developed for other plattforms and has been used there for
quite some time now.

Is this really clever? Is this really what Nokia has to say about their new 
plattform? "Look, our new plattform is finally good enough to run
software that is well established on these other plattforms"?

This sounds like palm did in its last days when their "innovation" was their
ability to do windows-ce-lookalike stuff and to implement features
that other plattforms already had for ages ...
