Bottom line (what we have learned): Nokia fucked it up, Samsung will fuck it up, but Intel fucks these things up at a pace that is really astonishing. They never learn. Desperate thick skulls seem to be a recruitment requirement for their management.

It's small: http://gitweb.merproject.org/gitweb/
There's no UI and no hardware/kernel code - there will be some kind of CONFIG_* checklist instead.
Most importantly it's not a distro per-se. It's a collection of code, systems, tools and processes for vendors who want to make devices.
We expect these vendors to be part of the co-operative around Mer.

IMO tech companies need engineers with a vision at their helm.
It isn't that complicated. Pick a kernel (Linux), pick a framework and throw money at it for a long time and improve all the parts that lack.
Red Hat kinda does it that way, but slow with a heavy server focus and not that much money.
If big companies like IBM, HP, Intel or Oracle had started to do it in 2000 to 2003 Ubuntu might not have happened.
I had hoped that Meego and the Linux Foundation would become something like Eclipse Foundation and Eclipse, but sadly nobody over there has any vision. They let f**king stupid Intel decide instead of encouraging others to pick up the pieces. Linux, Wayland, SystemD, Qt etc is the right choice for the future. It is the very competitive and maybe even superior in the long run, but can't exspect some MBA CEOs and some toady Foundation to understand that.

(Note systemd & Qt but Wayland's not there .... yet)
