Well, the forum's still working. At least we have that.
And IIRC, the theme WILL need porting if they do decide to go from 3.8.2 to 4.0 - it's a major jump. The forum will most likely break for a few days.
Also, I think that Nokia's Maemo 6 should either be split from the MeeGo forum or put in a sub-forum, being not-quite-MeeGo and all that. Even if they do get the seal of approval from MeeGo.com.
EDIT: Can we please have SSO for maemo.org? It's pretty confusing - multiple sites with the same theme, but you'l have to re-register each time.

Regarding the fact that Maemo6 is still "Maemo" these forums will remain needed and active for longer than one may think (who knows if Nokia will brand MeeGo-Nokia derived things still Maemo?!).
...I do not even know who is looking after the servers atm

Reggie is still the t.m.o admin.
I don't know if vBulletin can be easily upgraded from inside itself without access to the filesystem.

Thank you for your post. A subforum has already been created for MeeGo/Harmattan and I suspect it will remain.

The branding/compliance certification is a tricky and important issue but not necessarily determinative of the future of the website.

The vBulletin 4.0 upgrade is available for a while now but we stay back at 3.8.2 - members have asked me about it and I do not even know who is looking after the servers atm (could look it up but from my exp as serveradmin you do not have any power but getting blamed for everything if anything is not working the way it should...)
If maemo.org's license is still active - the upgrade is for free (*$175 if not).
As tmo is part of maemo.org and powered by Nokia I guess this needs action by the council if the license is inactive.
As my request for access to Brainstorm was over one year ago I doubt anything will happen without frequent reminders.
