Is there a point in one site (http://opentablets.org may be?). TMO will become history at some point, so a new place is needed. But we don't want to end up in situation which existed with jumping between Meego.com forums, TMO forums, Nokia developer forums and etc.

Basically Stskeeps said this should be a community initiative. I.e. if community won't make such effort - the mess will ensue and no one will care to make such unified resource.
There is a community initiative with a scope to include Maemo and all of its derivatives called Hildon Foundation. We have a promise from Nokia that maemo.org will be transferred and a contact point in Nokia for hosting, the trademark, the contract with Nemein, and the transition of maemo.org from Nokia. There was a suggestion from Reggie that we can keep the forum if Nokia handed over maemo.org and we're trying to get further details from Reggie on how we do that. There are still a lot of loose ends, but there is an effort.
