Which is completely impossible to divine from an outsider's point of  
view. Either Nokia needs to change its workflow in such a way that  
"working" is automatically "working in the community" or managers need  
to find a way to make time to interact with the community (even 30  
minutes a week dealing with bugs in Bugzilla would be a godsend).

Otherwise, we're just never going to make any real progress.
