Revision as of 17:29, 23 January 2009
Mer is a Linux distribution for mobile devices, based on the Maemo platform from Nokia. Mer goals include:
- Improving and developing parts of Maemo that are of interest to the Maemo community.
- Making it easier to port existing desktop applications by hildonizing and adjusting them to the tablet form factor.
- Encouraging third party experimentation and development.
- Supporting tablet hardware no longer receiving updated OS software by Nokia.
- Making Maemo a generic platform for all tablet devices, including non-Nokia ones.
- Focusing Maemo community efforts in platform-related areas

Releases
If you want to download a Mer release - see Mer Releases, latest is Mer 0.6.
Mission
Mer platform development will be done in the open, with public SCM repository, bugtrackers, and Wiki-based blueprint discussion.
We should stop seeing the tablets as strictly under-powered embedded systems, and see them for what they really are: powerful, power-efficient, economical handheld computers.
Historically, the Mer platform came from a discussion on reconstructing Maemo and a desire to make a proof of concept system of the thoughts in this proposal (M-R PoC), which developed into Mer after realization that it was a viable direction of development.
