Ibrahim [1] from The Linux Foundation is coordinating the work to define and test MeeGo compliance. Please give them some time to come up with their conclusions. Maemo 6 and Moblin 2.2 development plhases were caught in the middle of the MeeGo announcement, with committed deliveries and deadlines. Both are taking some compromises in order to fit within the MeeGo definition, and both Nokia and Intel are doing the steps to deepen in one single and common MeeGo stack. Hopefully everybody understands that this doesn't happen overnight when you have to ship releases without delays. It is actually nobody's interest to focus in the differences of Harmattan (the former Maemo 6) in order to tear it apart, as long as it offers a MeeGo API and a simple tool for developers to deal with rpm/deb and the Ovi Store. After the transition period MeeGo based devices from Nokia will ship with a pure MeeGo stack, and problem solved. -- Quim Gil open source advocate MeeGo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
