Meego project had governance shortcomings (it was too corporate controlled), which eventually spelled its doom. (We are talking about Meego project, not about Nokia's Harmattan). That's why Mer project was created - to address those issues and to continue, building on the accumulated effort. It's good that Jolla decided to work with the community and to use Mer as their core, rather than reinventing the wheel and repeating Meego project problems.
