"Community" improvements - or is it only me?
The title is vague because I don't find the correct term to describe what I want to say... It's just that I personally feel that during the last 6 months or so, the overall feeling of everything around my N800 keeps improving significantly, adding a lot to my user experience.
I cannot remember having seen this amount of activity in the past. Am I alone with this impression or do I simply see the effect of somebody really coordinating and pushing the community? Or didn't I pay attention when the same humming and buzzing happened before? |

You're not alone :)

Not just you.

Nope, its not just you.
People are defining what they want and trying to make it happen. Nokia are opening up and listening to people. I feel connected. |
Re: "Community" improvements - or is it only me?
I have seen some improvements and some unimprovements. It seems to me that overall, the environment is still not particularly newbie friendly.
I personally have become less interested in the tablet environment, though things like liqbase are definitely fantastic -- but is that the result of improvements here, or just a great programmer from nowhere arriving? I am also spending less time trying to read threads that have become longer than ever. People have really been converted by the ceaseless pressure not to start new threads, so if you have a question, you need to put it at the bottom of a bottomless pit of messages. I appreciate the actions of the heroes here, but for me the tablet thrill is gone. |

liqbase wouldn't exist without the great people in this community helping in numerous ways.
I am still a n00b in Linux and still don't understand many parts of it. I simply have ideas that I am trying to visualize, the folks around here in all of their respective fields know the specifics. |

In particular, Nokia tablet project has not evolved as fast as I hoped (especially when you compare it with the competition). Longer threads tend to hide the answer to the title post and just increase the frustration when looking for a solutions to a problem in google searches. I too would appreciate small threads relevant to the post title. |

A lot of this has to do with the shift in maemo.org's direction Nokia has been pushing over the last 8 months with the help of the maemo.org Four (Niels, webmaster; Dave, docmaster; and Andre and Karsten, bugmasters) and Quim.
I also think we're getting some tangible benefits from the Council's work as well, though, admittedly, I'm overwhelmingly biased. ;) Quote:
That is, of course, not to say that we don't benefit greatly from the crazy amount of work Andre puts in (Thanks, Andre!), but I can't help feeling that it's a bandaid on the bug #630 situation that may delay real progress (certainly through no fault of Andre's, since he's one of the major pushers internally for Nokia's involvement in Bugzilla). Quote:
More tangible benefits are likely to come from both the package categories discussion and work on improving the Application Manager. The perks and incentives for packagers to use Extras are likely to be increasing in the near future. Quote:
Good tools are everything. ;) Quote:
