The right comparison is Nokia&N95. These terrains fall far out of the maemo scope, really. maemo has still many challenges to accomplish its core mission: open source development for Internet Tablets. What you are demanding are tools and spaces for creating this end-user buzz and make it grow. Having an open platform is helpful, but maemo is probably not the place. Nobody expects iPhone end users getting excited at developer.apple.com either. We need to keep the scope in developers, and additionally power users because they are an essential piece in any open source environment. Of course maemo can and should contribute to this buzz, and any ideas around this are welcome. From this to Skype-related buzz there is a too long jump, though. I believe what you are asking for needs to flourish and evolve around Tableteer, Nseries.com or a dedicated site for that. Let's see if we can meet your expectations in this context. -- Quim Gil - http://maemo.org
