Thank you in advance!

I too have an n810 that I bought on ebay and love!
I am no where near ready to give up on this device....
use for media and podcasts, fbreader, evince and some video.
no skills in programming but can contribute with graphics, pr or marketing.
even though I don't know about mer, willing to try.
my latest wild idea is to use the n810 as a graphics tablet via bluetooth with the ipad with sumopaint!

I too am an N810(w) owner, and am in full support of it still being a magical device. I'll be there.

* I'm interested to see something fresh working on it. Will it be Mer or MeeGo or other name.
* I'm willing to contribute with testing and knowledge.

Hi,
* I have a n800 - I've been using it every day for almost 3 years now
* I'm interested to see and use a comunity based ssu / stable enough for every day use which would bring an updated browser engine, maybe a more modern desktop (maybe helped by the newly released 3d drivers) but after all that's eye candy and can wait.
* I'm willing to contribute with testing and bug reports but since the n800 is my only internet tablet I can't help testing until it's stable enough for everyday use. (even if bleeding edge with bugs and errors)
* I want to keep using my internet tablet WITH USB HOST for as long as possible - especially since I don't see a better replacement for it.

* I have a N800, just purchased a few months ago. Use it daily. Decided on it over an N810
* I'm interested to see and use any OS on my device that is decently stable and Dev's will provide apps for. I am really interested in astronomy software, along with multimedia and PDA apps. I run Garnet VM on it because it has more astro software than Maemo
* I'm willing to contribute with Beta testing. still new to Linux commands and deal more with PHP than any other language.

* I have a n800, and use it every day
* I'm interested to see and use a community based ssu / stable enough for every day use, updated browser, fbreader, rss reader, xournal, maps/navigation, games, media player, and anything I can install from the ubuntu/debian repos; I use a bluetooth keyboard for any long text input, so any king of on screen keyboard for short or simple text inputs would be enough.
- I'm willing to contribute with testing and bug reports, and translations to spanish if you need them.
- I want to keep using my internet tablet, if possible with usb host; there doesn't seem to be any hope for something like this in Mexico any time soon.

1. The community has code for Fremantle now. How many months will elapse before we get code for MeeGo?
2. When we get MeeGo, will it be trivially easy to backport it, or will it take months of work? For example, in the Mer^2 snapshot 40 thread, we can see that Stskeeps is calling for a rework of the desktop b/c the N8xx can't handle the accelerated graphics. Would you expect that this would not be an issue with MeeGo?
3. If Diablo or Mer ever gets Qt 4.6, then it will presumably be able to use some of the MeeGo apps. Might be a lot easier to do this than backport all of MeeGo & might gain a lot.

* I'm interested to see and use general updates to current software. For example, keeping Tear updated with new builds of webkit, updated FBReader in Extras, keeping Maemo Mapper working with map repositories, keeping Erminig working, keep the IM client working with MSN/etc, updated versions of gpe-* when they come out, updates to Panucci, etc. For the most part I'm happy enough with the functionality and would like it to simply stay current. If Mer or Android is the means for this to happen, great. If it's simply occasional updates to individual packages, good enough.
* I'm willing to contribute with minimal testing, especially for packages I use.
* If extremely easy testing packages for Mer, running at full speed and without significant missing functionality would happen, I would then be able to do testing and consider moving over to it either temporarily or permanently.
* If a general update to the system would happen, I would then be able to happily continue with my life.
