Maybe it's time for the real community distros to pickup, package and ship what ever usefull has come out of Moblin, Maemo, MeeGo, LiMo, Tizen etc.

Because packaging things right after upstream abandons them is always such a good idea?

Some of the bits like MeeGo CE's UX have had a community behind it and can be picked up for further development easier than say completely Intel in-house stuff like the Tablet UX.

There are a lot of touch usable nice applications to package and develop indeed in MeeGo.

Eh, like we should have forgotten Nautilus, blender, ur-quan masters and firefox as soon as their original upstream gave up?

A lot upstream abandoned software has got a new life from open source communities. In fact, being able to continue developing software after original authors lose interest is one the key advantages of free software.

The most valuable piece of software in Maemo/MeeGo/Tizen is IMHO ConnMan, Marcel Holtmann's and Samuel Ortiz' kickass connection daemon. But if I have understood things correctly it is indeed being picked up.
