Who is doing what
There have been lots of things going on for Maemo and related projects, especially now that support for Maemo 5 has been coming to an end. Considering recent news (eg. EOL announced for Hildon-Desktop by Nokia and such), this is not surprising at all.

Purpose
The purpose of this page is to keep track of who is doing what. That is with regards of Maemo (or perhaps MeeGo) and related open source projects.
Objective
The objective of this page is to encourage collaboration and prevent people from creating a conflictiong set of patches or starting to work on the same issues. (So, we'd like to keep you from "reinventing the wheel" all over again.)
Get involved!
If you start a project that you think may be sought after by others, fill in the appropriate table below with your name and some information about what you're doing. Please provide a link as well.
Thus, when someone is interested in doing the same, he doesn't have to start from scratch but can cooperate with you. This holds obvious benefits for developers and end users, too.
System-related software
Different packages (or forks) from official repositories and SSUs, hardware-close software, platform components and shared libraries.
