Mer/Goals

Mer 1.0 is the first release where it should be relatively painless to use Mer on a day-to-day basis using N800, N810(W)s.

Requirements specification, related to the N8x0:

Images:
- a 100% free rootfs, which uses firmware from Nokia-provided initfs to provide WiFi and Bluetooth firmware.
- Fully flashable FIASCO image containing kernel, initfs and rootfs. Will include closed-source bits for HW interfacing and other useful things to not lose functionality. Generated behind the maemo.org server walls and downloadable with a EULA.
WLAN working without hassle, and doing proper power saving. Firmware included in initfs.
Audio working, ideally without having to resort to DSP tasks, but if this is not possible, included in restricted image.
Bluetooth working. Firmware included in initfs. Bluetooth tethering, PAN and DUN.
Battery information available.
USB host, otg and gadget (serial, ethernet, mass storage) modes configurable.
At least kernel 2.6.21, ideally later.
