Hi, as the tablet and sailfish OS 2.0 is promoted with privacy in mind, I like to suggest some aspects that focus on (re)decentralized online services that are in use / embedded to the OS. Thus, the OS should support a lot more services for sharing / upload / notify / news / ... and contain an open (standards and protocols) and extendible system (plugins / scripts) that is able to reflect the lifecycle of third party APIs. For example youtube.com might be #1 video portal, but users might prefer vimeo.com that's not overwhelmed by ads and tracking. Or let's see some examples for selfhosting online services :

• owncloud - sync and share calendars, files, bookmarks, ...
• bittorrent - sync files via P2P
• Mediagoblin - share images, audio, video, 3D models, ...
• Diaspora / friendica - social networks
• Jabber / XMPP - IM and chat
• Yacy - websearch
• bitcoin - payment
• ...

Also please try to avoid online services in general and support offline applications as good as we can. There are offline apps for wikipedia, openstreetmap and the OS can use e.g. openwifimap for loading wifi locations etc... . This will include esp. the easy (background, fast, non-blocking, ...) updates and external storage of big datasets.
