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".

- I changed "consumers" to "users/people/persons" in many places. I left consumers in some places where the sentence would turn into "...users use...".
- I changed to "innovation" in some places to "development work".
- Quim, I'm not sure what you mean by rephrasing "12.000 registered members" to "12.000 contributors". Is it safer to claim that we have members versus contributors? I'm sure not every member is a contributor, or? --peterschneider 05:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure myself and probably is not that important. :) "Member" sounds stronger to me since it calls to rights, duties and a sense of belonging to an organization. "Contributor" means that contributes something, which is a more flexible definition. People would register to maemo.org to file or comment on a bug, rate a news or an app, be part of a garage project, edit a wiki page... --qgil 06:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
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...--qgil 21:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
