maemocommunity.org - a fragmentation too far?

Editor: Andrew Flegg

In the post where he announced the extended nomination period, RM Bauer also mentioned: We have already started plans to centralize open source parts of the community at www.maemocommunity.org. Repos are first priority, then wiki, the forum is tricky. Input on value of community OBS for harmattan/fremantle/diablo would be appreciated at this point. Open for discussion and volunteers are definitely wanted. I would also check first to make sure that someone hasn't already mirrored the repos as discussed previously on the forum (sorry, don't have a link at the moment) as a safeguard against them.

Reggie Suplido, Quim Gil and your editor have asked for clarifications about this, since further fragmentation would have to be carefully managed to avoid destroying the community completely. However, the post has served to highlight there are a lot of people who care about the success of the community having invested so much time in it over the last seven years (even if they no longer follow TMO on a daily basis) and the problems the current council is having with getting things done.
