'''Note:''' The colored boxes are nothing other than placeholders for what might be nice iconography (or even just bullet points). The text after each box is a link to an interim "descriptor" page. As you'll see, this is meant to look and function much like the [[Task:Improving_maemo.org/Development|Development page]].
