| - | I propose including this in just a FAQ, rather than having a separate N900 page.

| - | I have no huge problem with that idea. I have 3 concerns though:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * The FAQ was conceptualized as separate because the device is uniquely what is bringing many people to the site with specific N900-related questions (some of which are maemo-related, I grant)
| + | |
| - | * The regular FAQ could be intimidating to new users who are uninterested in the minutiae of development, for instance - with the best will in the world, at present, 'how do I get root access' is not something your new N900 owner or prospective owner would give a monkey's about, if I may be frank.
| + | |
| - | * Putting this into the regular FAQ might be a bit of overkill (there's a lot here that is really rather specific)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To address these, it's necessary to revamp the FAQ page as is radically. e.g. with questions at top, compartmentalized, and linked to a set of answers either below or perhaps on different page(s) - there is a reason for this, btw - pages that are too long are not friendly, load slowly, and are frustrating on small screens.

| - | == Developer & user FAQs ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Steve: I have proposed 2 FAQs in the [[Maemowiki Action Group]] page - one for a developer FAQ and one for a user FAQ - we already have about 7 different pages which are candidates for merges into one or the other:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | For developers:
| + | |
| - | * [[Q&A - SDK and Scratchbox]]
| + | |
| - | * [[Q&A Porting to Fremantle]]
| + | |
| - | * [[Autobuilder FAQ]]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | For users & power users:
| + | |
| - | * [[Questions and answers]]
| + | |
| - | * [[Frequently asked questions]]
| + | |
| - | * [[Troubleshooting]]
| + | |
| - | * [[N900 FAQ]]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I think it would be good to simplify both the maintenance and the navigation for users by avoiding duplication of information and possible conflicting information and have all of these be in the one place, with clear & good headings & navigation.

| - | I think that structure is an excellent one, and I'd be delighted to see some of (all of?) the N900FAQ embedded within where it makes sense. I'd also be delighted to help out in the editing if you think that it's possible/sensible.
