Inspired by an earlier post, my question is, would you be willing to donate $10 for the purpose of a fundpot, to be used for:

• Devlopment of Maemo for other higher spec devices
• Creation of some key apps missing from Maemo but popular on other platforms
• To inspire skilled programmers working on other platforms to develop for Maemo also

When you hear about all the nightmare stories from developers working for Apple (spending months in development of an App to only have it rejected on some petty grounds, and with the likelyhood that Cydia will eventually be blocked out from Apple devices completely) I feel the Maemo community could offer a much nice development process. Nowhere else do we have willing enthusiastic volunteers willing to test software.

Maemo is unique. Nokia clearly dont seem to want to spend anymore on Maemo (money or time), so perhaps there are things we could do to?

We already have skilled dedicated group working on the CSSU, but we need to encourage programmers from other platforms to also develop apps if preservation and bettering Maemo is to happen.
