And of course as I am to care about Joe (Average Joe) it would be realy nice to have a GUI with CIFS browser and such things auto mounting when trying to open the folder and umounting when leaving.

why was this removed? how should I get data from our companies network if there is no linux fileserver while in a meeting? I dont have access to our fileservers apart of windows share and so do many, well if there is a samba client (didnt check) I script it like I did on my netbook, but average joe wont do that!

The file manager used to have support for unauthenticated SMB shares, but that's been removed in Fremantle.

The CIFS/SMB support was never great in Maemo. Honestly, I'm glad they got rid of their half-assed samba implementation; this makes it possible for community apps to implement CIFS/SMB properly, with full authentication support.
I think we need a forward port of Wizard Mounter (talk thread) to Fremantle.

Unauthenticated SMB/CFS support was present in previous Maemo releases only because they used GnomeVFS, and GnomeVFS had such support built in. However, Gnome deprecated GnomeVFS in early 2008.

I for one would rather have back the half-assed support until something else is on the table.
I didn't start a brainstorm item yet but I think it would be worth to think about an "Average Joe Task Force" which is looking after the GUI development of things which can already be done by us geeks within our beloved terminal.
