All your missing is the free food and conferences, and the advocates that did very little anyway other than make interesting comments anyway...

Many of us believe that supporting all the verticals and profiles failed because it fragmented developers... and there were not enough developers to support it all. I honestly believe that it is a large reason why MeeGo has been more or less floundering. With Intel removing the lion's share of those developer resources... it would be foolish to continue that failed approach. It sets everyone up for failure. By re-focusing the goals to ONE THING... the hard-to-rely-on community development model (*cough*Debian*cough*) has a reasonable chance of accomplishing those goals. Once achieved, you may find room to re-add those other verticals on top of a stable foundation. -gabriel _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
