| - | I was looking at some of the other OSS wikis (Gentoo, Slackware, Debian, etc) for ideas for the front page layout. A common theme seems to be a front page with a category index (Software, Hardware, HowTos, Developers, etc), a preamble/introduction of some sort and perhaps a news feed. Based on this I've started putting together a possible layout on my [[User:Generalantilles|userpage]]. [[User:generalantilles|generalantilles]] 05:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

| - | I would like to have a very simple front page, if possible. I want to avoid having the lists of links which made the old wiki so hard to manage. I would suggest having sections for tips & tricks, developer documentation, general troubleshooting and community-process related documents. I would like to have software-documentation removed completely from the wiki, in favour of downloads.maemo.org. --[[User:dneary|dneary]] 10:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

| - | == Article organization ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Generally speaking, I'm in favor of not nesting articles (i.e. [[HowTos/Installation]] or [[Hardware/Nokia 770]]), as it can make pages harder to link to (gotta figure out the page and what it's nested under) and generally doesn't provide a whole lot of usefulness.

| - | | + | |
| - | I think we should favor [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category Categories] instead, since it's make page URLs less complicated, gets rid of the nesting issues, allows us to file articles in more than one place and provides us with nice automatically generated [[:Category:HowTo|indexes]].

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The Help link in the main navigation on the left (and also the Editing help link when editing a document) have no text, having a help page similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents Wikipedia Help] would be really useful, particularly the "Editing Wikipedia"->"Cheatsheet" section and policy/guidelines etc. Are the Wikipedia Help pages copyright?
| + | |
| - | : I was sure that the help pages were here the first time I used the wiki... as far as I know, the help pages are available under a free documentation licence, and could be made available. -- [[User:dneary|dneary]] 10:15, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

| - | == Problems ==
| + | |
| - | If you are not registered to this wiki the layout of the frontpage is strange. There is a lot of white space at the beginning of the MainPage. After a login the Layout looks good. (Tested with Firefox 3; 1280x1024 px)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | As of August 16, the Main Page is completely blank in Firefox 3, Epiphany (Mozilla Engine), and MicroB even when logged in, but displays fine in Konqueror
| + | |
| - | : I was able to get to the main page by using https in Firefox 2 (not logged in though). [[Special:Contributions/98.223.226.131|98.223.226.131]] 23:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
