Hello,

Nokia has made a deal with Microsoft. This does mean that Nokia's mobile
phone application development is going to move out of Finland. A lot of the
soon-to-be unemployed mobile software developers are going to develop
software for the Apache/GPL-licensed and Linux-based Android OS. Nokia had
their open MeeGo platform, but everybody expects MeeGo to die very fast.

What does this mean for FLOSS Manuals? I imagine there would be a lot of
open source projects needing an open documentation platform like FM/Booki in
Finland soon. Anybody ever think about documenting open source mobile
applications in FM? :)

People here are basically seeing the Nokia/Microsoft deal as a major
national emergency.
