Will there eventually be a forum as per MeeGo.com (dev & handset

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.

*which has been migrating Maemo x.x-->6.x (Harmattan) infra from Nokia -where
possible- to community owned/hosted infra
It's very disappointing to hear all this, we hoped there'd have been far
better interaction & solid plans/coop by now between the 3+ entities.
The way forward seems very clear to me/others, but the leadership
doesn't seem to be there...
