Sorry for top posting, this particular mail client is a bit awkward. There are no discussions going on in closed places about anything relating to the community. Everyone is on the same level here. The discussions that are now going on in the MeeGo-community list about the website aspects are a part of the bootstrapping process taking place. Talking about governance policies is important, and I am certain it will be done in the open.
I think Quim answered a related question on the MeeGo-community list just a while back http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-community/2010-March/000192.html and Valtteri's post http://meego.com/community/blogs/valhalla/2010/towards-day-one also covers some of these issues.

I am beginning to have that fear as well. And one cannot help but think that there are important decisions being made behind the scenes intentionally. It is one thing for Nokia and Intel to align their business practices when it comes to developing products, it is entirely another to shut down code repositories, access to servers, etc. while trying to seed a community. I'd urge the powers that be to include the community in the process, you'll risk losing good will if you keep the working teams and other integral parts of the community in the dark too long.
