You may not be able to be on "talk.maemo.org", or it to even exist - but there is nothing stopping another N900 community-driven forum from springing up.
Thereby splitting the community into the development people in one place, and the end users in another. What makes maemo.org special is that we're all in the same (sometimes crowded and noisy) box together. Yes, I know the devs need places where they can be on their own for their complicated technical conversation: maemo.org allows for that.

But this place also provides a place where one can start a thread titled "Artists and designers - I need help" or "Game - a suggestion" and get the attention of people who can actually respond. Devs can bring their items to the table, get input, ideas, feedback and testers from ordinary users.

Splitting us into two communities would destroy something very valuable which maemo has created. I don't want a separate 'user community'.
