Thanks for circulating this - communication of such decisions is an
important part of open development, IMHO.

As Carsten asks, it'd be useful for the maintainers - and interesting
for everyone else - to see the criteria and problems identified.

However, could you clarify who the "we" is with "we have been
evaluating" (given the comments from Sakari last time[1])? Also, are
the meeting minutes going to be published where it was decided?

I can understand not circulating for discussion beforehand; afterall,
our architect group at work[0] doesn't go for consensus with every
developer. But we do advertise each meeting before we have it, publish
minutes and (technically ;-)) people can attend the meeting if they
feel they have something to contribute.

I think the same level of process is (at a minimum) required in MeeGo
to allow participation of others in future; and people won't
contribute if they don't see a way in.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
