:"The entire site" is technically a nightmare. If you mean the static content we can discuss about more areas to be moved to this wiki, well integrated. But Downloads or News rely totally on Midgard and you don't want to wikify them, leave alone bugzilla or garage.  :)  What specifically have you in mind?--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:30, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

:: That makes sense. I was thinking of all of the "static" content on the site -- really meaning any page that relies on text/image/video/other media. When looking at maemo.org as a whole, pretty much everything aside from those that you mentioned, is content that could be community maintained. --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 18:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

http://maemo.org/community/wiki/applicationrepositories/ doesn't contain information about OS2008, only 2007 and 2006. This is bad because it looks like cruft / unmaintained information.

What is the target?

  • Rethink focus of maemo.org as a whole: Are Tablets for coders or regular users? (I think the latter.) - TimSamoff
IMHO open collaboration is the lowest barriers and passive users aka consumers will be much happier with a pure consumer site. See 2010_Agenda#The_one_site_for_end_users (might move to an own page soon).--qgil 20:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Improving the current web structure

What is wrong in the current maemo.org website structure?

  • Navigation is a little hard to...navigate.
    • Certain user-centered items should be prevalent and easy to use (e.g., Downloads, News, Documentation).
    • A lot of the subnav stuff (Roadmap, Lists, Bugzilla, SDK, IRC, etc.) could be removed from the main page and placed in a Developer-centric page.
  • As discussed here, should the main page be more of an aggregated community-driven content portal?

What works about the current web structure?

List positive remarks here:

  • Main page News summaries are good.
  • The idea of posting "The Pearl" is good. Should it just be called "maemo.org Download Picks" (or something)?

Proposals to turn bad in good and create a good structure

  • List here proposals.

Improving the current web content

What is wrong in the current maemo.org content?

  • Too much text alone. This is ok in developer documentation and dense stuff, but for the rest...--qgil 20:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposals to turn bad in good and create good content.

  • Snappy texts combined with images and graphics (screenshots, images, pictures...) and video, lots of videos and screencasts. Maemo is beautiful and its community generates a lot of visual stuff.--qgil 20:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Improving the current layout

Discussed at Talk:Task:Maemo.org_facelift.

A whole wiki?

  • Why not wikify the entire site? Midgard is great software, but going completely wiki would speak well of "openness." - timsamoff
