@itviewer - You'll be lucky to get any kind of concrete answer from Jolla on here on.

You're better off Googling for that info, as I just did - "How many staff are left at Jolla"

http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/20/jolla-running-out-of-runway-for-its-android-alternative/

From what I recall, they had around 120 to 130 staff - now divide that number by 2, apparently.

IMHO it is not important how many employees Jolla has. The important thing is how many people are involved in the development of SFOS (external developers under contract for example.) and if there is anyone who engage works on pushing SFOS on new hardware.

I am also curious. How many developers? Is there a future? I really like my Jolla phone, but .....

Some speculation here: http://reviewjolla.blogspot.de/2015/12/news-lay-offs-canceled-at-jolla.html

Digest: many of the former employees do not want to come back, so Jolla will end up with ~50% the staffing they had before the lay-offs.
