Revision as of 09:18, 28 October 2008

Let's list here bugs and enhancement requests relating to the Maemo architecture and its proximity/compatibility with mainstream linux standards. The progress on these tasks should bring easier life for application developers and also to platform developers willing to close ties with Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
