==Welcome to the Maemo Greeters Page ==

This is a voluntary initiative by members of the maemo community.

Greeters here at meamo.org can be recognized by their distinctive (often multilingual) signatures within which are several useful links for the newcomer/beginner/curious. If you're new or curious, feel free to click through those links.

As well, Greeters are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in talk.maemo.org.

Some notes for potential greeters:
* Try to remain courteous at all times
* This program is strictly voluntary
* There is no official status conferred by this "title"
* There are no offers or guarantees of any reward
* There will be no formal scoring of participation

Notes for newcomers:
* Please Thank any post that assists you, directly or indirectly
* Keep in mind that any Greeter is a volunteer
* Feel free to suggest ideas to any Greeter

It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.

(Post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=365594&postcount=1, in thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33968)

After much discussion and deliberation, we are moving forward with testing the Maemo Greeters Brainstorm idea (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32835). Note that the actual Brainstorm solution for this (#1) has not actually moved to the implementation stage as of this writing, but it will be.

The basic idea is that any member can volunteer for this activity, and it can be implemented by simply using the following (or similar) for your posting signature:

Hi! I'm a Maemo Greeter!
 
 Useful links for newcomers: New members say hello, New users start here, Community subforum, Beginners' wiki page, Maemo5 101, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 
 If I can help with anything else, just ask!

In addition, participants are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in talk.maemo.org.

Some notes for participants:
Try to remain courteous at all times
This program is strictly voluntary
There is no official status conferred by this "title"
There are no offers or guarantees of any reward
There will be no formal scoring of participation

Notes for newcomers:
Please Thank any post that assists you, directly or indirectly
Keep in mind that any Greeter is a volunteer
Feel free to suggest ideas to any Greeter

It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.

Since this is a pilot, it is subject to change without notice, including dissolution of the program if it has too low or no participation, or there is no obvious benefit. Constructive feedback of all kinds is welcome. You may contact any Greeter, or me directly.

Let's make this work!

Thanks! And special thanks to Den in USA, whose shining example in New members say hello inspired this idea. You guys reward him by Thanking his greeting posts when you think of it.

== Greeters signature suggestions ==

There is no yet official signature (the whole idea is making its baby steps, see [http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/routing_visitors_to_useful_resources/ brainstorm item]) but here is the original version [http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=2855 Texrat] suggested:

Hi!  I'm a Maemo Greeter!

 If I can help with anything else, just ask!  :)

=== Basic English version ===
Greeters can copy latest(hopefully!) version of signature from here and paste it to their signatures. It should work straight.
