I can't say > much for Moblin as I haven't been involved at all. We are in the same position here. I haven't followed Moblin either and haven't said much if anything about the Moblin community. I've been a long time internet tablet user, both the N770 and N800 and do follow what is going on in the Maemo community. And I agree communication is a big part of the problem but I don't see how that will ever change when the governance that matters is done outside the Maemo community. >> This sentiment I think everyone shared in the beginning.

I just worry that the change will not be good if it comes after the community gives up.
