But it isn't brand new. And it isn't just two businesses who can tell
their paid staff what to work on tomorrow.

How long has MeeGo be around for?

Does Fedora bicker over
which shell it wants? Does Red Hat require the shell to be bash? Who
makes that decision? This is getting as silly as the arguments over
rpm now.

Precisely what I was driving at.


I think if we compare how Fedora's "corporate sponsor" has gone about
helping to create, foster, and empower its community and compare that
with the Nokia/maemo relationship there are valuable things to be
learned.


I couldn't agree with you more, but there is hope in that Nokia is
pairing up on the effort and wishes to expand (explore?).
