Stskeeps will pass the questions along as soon as he'll have some time. Just wait.
So, can anyone with Twitter help out with the question above? The Wiki article is stalled because of no consensus about what Jolla means when saying they are "Meego based".

Haven't they answered this one many times? JollaOS is based on Mer. Mer is a fork of the MeeGo codebase, henceworth by proxy JollaOS is based on MeeGo.
I don't understand what is confusing about it?

Are you asking this question because you don't know which way it is, or so that there is some answer that fulfills Wikipedia's criterias?
If the latter, I'm not sure if a Twitter answer is sufficient.

Granted, I did not have the time nor patience to read any but few dozen of the comments. But if the rest is the same, I find this discussion silly.
Wikipedia should be "for the common man". MeeGo based is the more recognizable term and should be used in the article. Mer should also be referenced, but erasing MeeGo for Mer would not serve the "general public" IMO.
