If just the source code for the applets, applications and UI that come from Nokia were _open_, then we could just have fixed all the silly bits ourselves, instead of having to ask pretty-please in bugzilla
(which doesn't usually result in anything, as far as my cynical self can see).
). Some teams are more responsive than others, though (at least publicly). The browser team (well, timeless) is particularly good about responding to browser bugs (if the answers aren't always what we want).

I imagine if we had at least one good example of the community taking the source of a user-space application and really running with it (fixing bugs, adding improvements and submitting patches), convincing Nokia to open up some more stuff might be easier (Application manager, xterm, and, maybe, hildon-desktop seem like three really good candidates for this).

Yes, the things I mentioned are already open. Convincing Nokia to open more userspace stuff would be easier if we had some real concrete results to show them the benefits of opening that stuff up.
