We've discussed forums for Mer before and the general feeling is that they're not the right solution for us at this point since we're not really an end-user project. Mailing lists and irc seem to do the job for now. I personally think Nemo is much the same but others may feel differently? > Do you (& Nemo) intend to coop with the Hildon Foundation* for a wider dev > community/support interface of sorts? There were some discussions but they seem to have faded away. As far as I understand it the Hildon/Maemo guys have setup some new infra as you mention but I personally am not really aware of the details around it. We're certainly more than happy to see maemo users hacking on Nemo or writing apps there - a lot of that development makes its way into our device partners like PlasmaActive and SailfishOS/Jolla. Same thing though - we're more a self-help opensource development community and we're not setup to handle or support users who expect a retail-quality experience.
