I for one like the fact that the vague "we will trust the communities to decide on the community stuff" statement one-by-one proves to be a practice. Long way to go, but why not be happy about the first steps, like asking the community kindly?

Spot on. As I said earlier in this thread - at the end of the day, Nokia (and Intel) are businesses and have completely different priorities than community gathered around that business. What is worth pointing out tough, is that they are actually do reach out back to the community and ask their opinion on the matter. That's at least what I see between the lines on Quim's various posts since yesterday.
IMVHO, people generally don't like drastic changes. However, as time flies by, we will all get used to that new MeeGo thing and quickly adjust to the new "reality". Think Facebook and their main layout changes every so often - there is a pattern I've observed myself: each time something changes in FB's layout, about 95% of people complain saying "previous was better". Time passes by, FB changes its layout again and... people complain that "previous was better". I am pretty certain we will see similar pattern with Maemo -> MeeGo, although I hope MeeGo is going to be definite branding change in this case. ;) |
