First, thank you! I know this has been a lot of work, and I wanted to say that 
I really appreciate it.

I've added some feedback to the wiki page, but I have one larger question. 
1) Should this be a standalone device program under the Linux Foundation 
responsible for shipping devices?
or 
2) Should we morph this program into a way for each device provider to point 
people to their own program where they would ship the devices?

#1 is the direction that I originally proposed and the one that Randy has been 
running with and defining. It gives us more control for the MeeGo Community, 
but it puts a lot of additional logistics burdens on the  Linux Foundation and 
the providers.

#2 would leverage the existing provider infrastructure and make it easier for 
us. We would still need to put together a program, but it would be more focused 
on putting together a way for providers to submit their program and give 
information about what MeeGo community members need to do to get a device 
through the individual program. And then find a way to display this information 
on the meego.com site somewhere in a way that makes it easier to find and 
understand.

Any thoughts?
