Hi Simon, Martin I think the first think to say is that Mer is, and intends to remain, an excellent choice for those working in the IVI space :)
The Mer project and Core is not planning to offer a complete IVI stack but it makes perfect sense to have an IVI interest group around Mer. Simon, we'd be happy for such a group to incubate in the merproject area and to discuss what special needs IVI has from Mer. That may include creating shared IVI specific software areas in the OBS and working up QA processes with Mer Core.
