'''This page is a DRAFT''' being discussed in the maemo-community list.

All Maemo contributors are invited to contribute in the improvement of [http://maemo.org maemo.org] content. Here we explain how to get editing rights and work on the basic stuff.

== Blogs & Garage news ==
If you want to blog about your Maemo related work you can [http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/aggregate_your_blog/ get your own blog aggregated to Planet Maemo]. If you have a Garage project you are encouraged to report the novelties through the News tool.

== Events ==
'''(Instructions for publishing events are missing)'''

The events can be:
# Maemo-centric activities: training courses, workshops, meet-ups, summits...
# Events with Maemo activities in the agenda: talks, BOFs, demos...
# Open project meetings count as well, also online and/or around garage projects.

== Downloadable software ==
'''(Instructions for publishing and updating pages at Downloads are missing)'''

== Job offers ==
If you have job offers and are expecting to have them more than once, you can request access to the jobs section editor by sending a mail to jobs @ maemo.

New jobs can be [https://maemo.org/news/jobs/create/default.html created] by clicking in the floating bar on '''Folder->Create Article''' while in the [https://maemo.org/news/jobs/ jobs section].

Please make sure you follow the same style as other job offers, so we get a uniform look.

== Announcements and static pages ==
As opposed to this wiki, you need to obtain editing permissions in order to write and edit pages in the main site. Before requesting permissions you should have gained a (good) reputation as a writer in this wiki, the [http://maemo.org/news News] section, [http://internettablettalk.com Internet Tablet Talk]... or anywhere else we can go and check.

In the meantime you can work on any texts using this wiki and contacting the editors in the maemo-community list for proposals, text changes or new pages.

=== Account and permissions ===
When you think it's the time do the following:
# [https://garage.maemo.org/account/register.php Get a maemo account] (aka "garage account") if you don't have it already. Make sure the email address used is @nokia.com.
# [https://maemo.org/profile/edit/ Edit your profile] introducing yourself. Feel free adding more information. Your profile might be linked from the announcements and comments you publish, that's why. An avatar is also recommended.
# [https://garage.maemo.org/project/request.php?group_id=198 Request to join] the [https://garage.maemo.org/projects/webeditors/ webeditors] group.
