    The staffing and funding is the real difficult part.

    Agreed. I will also add that a lack of leadership and gumption is also a challenge. You need commitment and inspiration to successfully execute such a project in a democracy.

    I am not technical enough to evaluate whether what I am saying is correct, but my concern with using AOSP is that such a decision will result in 2nd tier clone apps.

    It seems to me it would make much more sense to leverage industry policy (technical requirements, grants for developers) to develop a “clean slate” solution.

    I had a Nokia N900, it worked pretty well for 2010 (apps weren’t as big then and mobile web worked surprising well). I am done with Android and American corruption. I am not buying another Android phone; looking forward to getting a Jolla device once they add support for Ukraine (even with no official support).
