Mer is back

Mer was an attempt to further develop Maemo fully in the open and was cancelled, when MeeGo seemed to be the next big thing. Now that Android, Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, et al proved to be too easy to burn (I love that phrase), or—in the case of Android—too closed, maybe a resurrected Mer can be the independent platform, everybody’s longing for? At least, it doesn’t look as halfhearted as CordiaHD.
