=== Background ===
This is a wishlist of items, following from [[Task:Community_firmware_image_distribution]], to allow Maemo-based operating systems like Mer to be viable alternatives for both developers and end-users on the Nokia Internet Tablets.

Nokia-closed items are not part of this list, unless there was doubt about if they were fully Nokia-closed items. Distribution of Nokia-closed items is to be decided how this could be done in a proper way through maemo.org (see [http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2009-January/002946.htm this] and [http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=261619&postcount=26 this, which clarifies statement]) .

=== Intent ===
* Creation and distribution of firmware images for Nokia Internet Tablets containing the components below.
* Distribution of these components would be from a central server (maemo.org/tablets-dev.nokia.com) behind a MAC identification, as per the existing Nokia-created images.
* The closed source binaries and libraries to be shipped unchanged.
* Modification of secondary files (such as installation and start-up scripts) for these components to integrate them into non-Maemo systems, where required.
* Support of all Nokia Internet Tablet devices: Nokia 770, N800, N810 and N810W.

=== 3rd party wishlist === 
The [https://garage.maemo.org/docman/view.php/106/354/maemopackages-20080725.ods maemo packages overview] has been reviewed as the basis of this list.

When a package contains links to files contained in initfs, the wish is for the actual files pointed to.
