Replying again as it's a different subject.

I never engaged to be a contributor who would submit links. I wanted
to help with code, but lost focus and motivation by not getting any
helpful feedback. The only person who would look at what I was doing
was Jaffa, and GeneralAntilles when I pestered him enough. Don't ask
me what I was expecting, I'm not really sure. That being said, I sent
roughly 3 or 5 emails to the list about code and progress, never ever
got a single email back.

I will be moving back to Europe next week, and plan on changing my
lifestyle quite a bit. I don't expect to be doing a lot development
nor Open Source related stuff anymore in the future. I've lost
interest in Maemo, never really had any interest in MeeGo, and have to
send back the N900 to Nokia anyway as soon as I'm settled down -- Quim
gave me an extension as I'm currently in the shits financially and
really needed the phone. I've put the code up in gitorious, use it or
don't, I can't really be bothered anymore.

Good luck with the rest of MWKN. It is a good project, it's just a
shame that so many contributors last as long as an edition: about a
week.

Quite indeed.
