Would be greatly appreciated, if you are, in fact, in the know. Could serve as a nice illustration for community support in this thread too and on top of that, you'd have my long lasting gratitude :D

Edit: Bumping was something I deliberately avoided as the topic on Evolution had been discussed in quite a few threads already. From the other tech forums I hang out, I know that bumping can be quite annoying.

I have not used it my self so i could not say. If the question is common it can get annoying.. but i don't see the harm in this. But talking in the official syncevolution thread would probably render in better help.

I'd imagine the developers in the community will probably follow a similar path to what I plan on doing:

* Continue to develop on and with Maemo 5 until something better comes along. Either vanilla "MeeGo + Handset UX" or (possibly) "Harmattan/MeeGo" (A.K.A. Maemo 6)

* Once a decent upgrade path is available for the aforementioned possible OS upgrades, I will continue to support Maemo5 with additional support for "Harmattan/Meego" (Maemo6) and vanilla MeeGo where possible.

It is my belief that judging from Nokia's track record we're unlikely to get a "Harmattan/MeeGo" (Maemo 6) community adaptation despite efforts being discussed toward this goal.

I also think that maybe the community driving vanilla MeeGo + UX for the N900 is the better option, because it is IMO our best bet for a continued and maintained codebase for the N900.

After all, we want our devices to have the longest life possible, right?

This is how I will support this community. Along with my work on helping other developers and users on IRC and here.

But, this is no different to how I and most people here have been working for the past 5 years or so. What more does the user segment of our community want?

Video, or it didn't happen.

:rolleyes: Immature comments like this are exactly why your posts are not generally favorably received around here.

What was so wrong with my post? I am asking for proof, just the same as you.

Not that I believe any of this bullcrap, but you want community support yet are yourself purposefully not contributing to the community? Nobody owes you anything
