This sounds good... And, was something I was a little confised about
prior to your email -- so thanks.
So, maybe maemo.org should veer slightly towards the "dev" side
(without becoming too bogged down in dev-oriented issues right off the
bat). I think that a good "standardized" type of recipricol linking
system needs to be devised for both maemo.org and maemo.nokia.com that
posints vistors towards the "conjoined" sites (maybe the same type of
"button," but different colors?). Anyway, users of maemo.org need to
be made aware of maemo.nokia.com and vice versa.

Hi,
As the guy responsible of giving life to maemo.nokia.com (and other
consumer marketing as well..) there's couple of things I'd like to
point
out about the maemo.org redesign. It's important that the both sites
have their own mission and now is the good time to plan out how they
can
help out eachother in this.
The way I see it that maemo.nokia.com represents the Experience
while
maemo.org the Intelligence of Maemo Software. By experience I mean
the
what end-users can do with a device running Maemo software and
different
applications, creating a good pull-in effect to boost the sales of
the
devices running Maemo. This also includes high-lighting the best
community applications from the maemo.org. New users should always
find
and land first to maemo.nokia.com to learn about Maemo and from
there
continue to maemo.org to get involved. Therefore maemo.nokia.com
banner
etc. needs to be strongly present in the Maemo.org frontpage.
I'd also like to encourage new & potential users coming to
maemo.nokia.com to join the maemo.org community. In order to
maemo.org to expand as community beyond developers, it needs to
actively
lower the barrier to get people involved. There needs to be guidance
and
improvements for users to "file bugs" for instance. It maybe should
be
called something entirely different because users might find it a
bit
uninviting to "file a bug" while for developers this is basic stuff.
It
would be really good if there would be kind of "introduction" page
at
Maemo.org where there would be easy to follow, step-by-step
instructions
on how they can start contributing to the community.
What do you think? If you have any ideas or thoughts about the
relationship between maemo.org and maemo.nokia.com, just let me
know.
