- | |'''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

- | == 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 [[Maemo_Reconstructed|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.
