Hi to all, I'm only a lurker of Meego mailing lists and I have never contributed to the project, but this time I would like to write some words about.
> * That primary customers of the platform are device vendors - not end-users. I think that this point in Mer Project or in any other branch/fork of Meego is to be corrected. Vendors come and vendors go, they don't care about Community as long as they can use it for their purposes and for me this was the main problem with Maemo, Moblin, Meego and if their strategies change they drop their products and their Communities. This approach didn't work. We have to reach a critical mass of users as soon as we can, then vendors will return to Community using Community work for their projects. I think we have to focus on end-users, we have to get users as fast as we can, and then they will be new testers and other developers come to help these users, Community is not a vendor that fears to burn its new brand with an early release. We have to learn from other successful opensource projects. Firstly we have to hack the most common devices on the market, users unsatisfied with their platform would like to try a different one without buying a new device. Then we have to get their feedbacks and trying to improve. We have to define specific requirements an user would search on this new platform, we have to define our target users and build a solution for the most of them. When we will have users, vendors will come to produce using our work for their new devices. These are my 2 cents, sorry for bothering.
