The result of this brainstorm, once ideas start firming up in the sections below, should be:

Planned sprints:
-
* A set of [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template mediawiki templates] for creating consistency in...

* Sprint 1. Started on 2008/06/10. [https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?June2008Sprint&id=106&type=g Tasks committed]. IRC review meeting on 2008/06/30.
-
* A page for each of the sections below (e.g. [[Increasing transparency]]) containing:
+
* [[100Days/Sprint2|Sprint 2]]. IRC review meeting on 2008/07/22.
-
** a detailed step-by-step plan for what will be delivered within 100 days
+
* [[100Days/Sprint3|Sprint 3]]. IRC review meeting on 2008/08/12.

** a list of community members committed to providing it (say 2-6?)
+
* [[100Days/Sprint4|Sprint 4]]. IRC review meeting on 2008/09/02.
-
** a community member as notional leader, responsible for overall delivery of that stream

* [[100Days/Sprint5|Sprint 5]]. Life/IRC review meeting at [[Maemo Summit 2008|maemo summit]] on 2008/09/19.

# Every 20 days, there should be:

## a status report wiki document coalescing all the streams' progress
+
-
## an IRC meeting of the stream leaders/[[User:qgil|qgil]]/anyone else to co-ordinate overall progress.
+
-
 
+
-
It would then be up to each mini-team to communicate and flesh-out their commitment within the first period, and then deliver it over the remaining period.

* It's unclear where to report problems about packages found in the application catalog.  A single bug tracker is needed, or at least a catalog that would redirect the user to the appropriate tracker from a common start page.  Or we could set up a "maemo" distribution on launchpad.net, which would let us integrate with the bug trackers of individual packages.

:''Nokia is open to discuss any possibility of integration of maemo.org with third parties i.e. ITt and also using any external service i.e. launchpad.net. We can commit to overall plans for the 100 Days exercise but not on execution. Having a better and common understabnding of how this steps would fall in the 2010 Agenda would definitely help to see what are the right first steps.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 07:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)''

== Increase End-User Involvement ==
+
-
* Allowances need to be made to elicit and encourage feedback from non-technical users.  User complaints and ideas need an outlet if maemo is to stay relevant as anything other than an obscure hacker's project.  Quality Assurance needs to center on the users' needs, not the developers'.  This type of QA is vital, but thankless.  It should be determined what resources Nokia is willing to contribute to such an effort, given the difficulty in getting developers to voluntarily see such an effort as a high priority.

make a device that fits those requirements exactly and you have a perfect tool.  The only problem is to reach that level of quality, you need intensive user feedback,  The best way to elicit such feedback, is to concentrate on a non-technical application.  Gamer is the best example.  If you can host a number of good applications, like tuxpaint or ''Wesnoth'', the application depth alone would make the device indispensable.  Make the best portable chess computer, with a deepfritz engine, and you've achieved an incredibly powerful tool.
