== Image quality ==
It seems a lot of the images are rather heavily compressed jpegs, which impacts the readability of their content and generally gives an amateurish feel to the introduction pages. Moving to a better compression type for these infographics would help a lot. Perhaps png or even gif ([[:Image:MaemoArchitecture.jpg]] is a good candidate for gif) would help improve readability. Also, captions for the images really shouldn't be included in the images themselves, as it impacts readability for most people and especially for people using screen readers. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 12:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, the final images will be optimized for web.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
== Subsections in the navigation bar ==
Proposal for titles of the subsections in the navigation bar:
*[[User:Peterschneider|Overview]]
*[[User:Peterschneider/community_overview|Community]]
*[[Share apps|Applications]]
*[[User:Peterschneider/maemo software|Platform]]
*[[User:Peterschneider/develop overview|Development]]
*[[User:Peterschneider/maemo_software#Evolution_of_Maemo_Software|History]]

== Purpose? ==

Is this a proposal for a maemo.org frontpage, a wiki frontpage or a front-page for a hypothetical maemo.com?

Or is this an "About Maemo" page? If this is intended for the frontpage of any website, I'm afraid it's *way* too text heavy for any form of introduction; and the only graphic seems to feature a whole load of projects that most people (and, probably, many developers) won't have heard of. If you've never done multimedia development on GNOME, will you have any real clue what GStreamer is and why it's a good thing? --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 20:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
:See "PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW INTRO PAGE" at the beginning.  :) This is one of the tasks commited for the current maemo.org sprint.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

== Considerations on wording ==

I did some changes on wording but I left these for discussion, just in case.

There are a couple of terms in these pages that look a bit unusual in open source projects:
* ''Consumers'' --> Users
* ''Innovate'', ''Innovation'' --> Develop, Development.

Also, this sounds a bit too overoptimistic:
* "over 12.000 registered members that contribute to more than 600 development projects" --> "over 12.000 contributors and more than 600 development projects".

== Variables for the numbers ==

I think we can get variables in the text so we can talk about real numbers in real time i.e. registered users, projects hosted in Garage, applications in Downloads...--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

-I read some of your comments on the logo shortlist page. Is it out of place to respond and motivate why things are done the way they are?
