Mer

[edit] Goals

• Integrate the best solutions for a wide variety of small form-factor devices
• Encourage wider access to device capabilities through the Vendor Social Contract
• Demonstrably provide an easy route to market for vendors
• Dramatically reduce costs to vendors of supporting EOL hardware
• Focus, harness and support community contributions to the platform
• Encourage and ease migration of existing applications
• Support experimentation, innovation and development

or, to put it another way:

• As much of Fremantle as we can get on the N8x0

We're hanging out on #mer on FreeNode IRC (irc.freenode.net) if you would like to discuss Mer (here's a web based IRC client).
