== 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.
