Meego DE development will be continued after the release of the 1.2 FINAL VERSION? Is a future 1.3 version in the plans?

I would assume so, but this would be better asked in the MeeGo DE thread and/or from jukkaeklund

Whether by Nokia or not, the current N900 adaptation team and those of us that are enthusiastic about MeeGo on the N900 will keep the DE platform updated. You have to understand that MeeGo development and also Nokias' N900 Developer Edition are all being developed in the open, so even if the first DE release (based on MeeGo 1.2) is all Nokia actively contribute their resources to, the project will still be alive.

In fact, Nokias participation in creating the "Developer Edition" is merely assiging Nokia devs work and making sure MeeGo contributers are concentrating on the right areas, bugs and features, to reach the DE specifications. And it is clearly visible that Jukka and the team have successfully made really great progress in this regard. I can only hope we continue to have the great project management we've had recently with the N900 DE project. Something that has been a great help and source of inspiration for us all.

@abill, I wasn't asking you to pay out of your pocket, I was asking you to maybe look into creating the means and raising funds for possibly a bounty programme

Maybe someone could come up with a plan to actually raise funds to pay developers to devote more time, just a suggestion but at this rate by the time anything is substantially ready the N900 will be dead and buried ha.
What have you done to make Meego/Maemo developing/progressing faster?

Nokia might not release that one as an upgrade, but I'm confident there will be community efforts to backport as much as possible from it to N900 in some form, within the limitation of the hardware and various drivers, of course.

I'm still waiting for that Maemo Fremantle developer edition we were promised for N8x0 devices. Nokia's history of these devices does not instill confidence.

The difference here is that we're not waiting, the project is out in the public and accepting contributions. It is moving forward and you can use it now. It's not like how things have been in the past for us here. Which is positive

Hopefully not--but it's left me very cynical despite the "here and now" of MeeGo. There's still closed drivers and firmware to deal with and I can't help getting the sneaking suspicion that Nokia will find a way to ruin it.
