Hi, My original idea of talk.maemo.org was just to continue the 'talk' naming tradition of internet tablet talk. Anyway, it's a good to think through how we want to call it. "Maemo Talk", "Maemo Forum" or something else and then match the subdomain accordingly. I think Reggie deserves to be carefully heard about this one.
I see 'Maemo talk' as the true bridge between users (landing to maemo.nokia.com) and developers (landing maemo.org) and Nokia people. It's design should mix elements from maemo.org and maemo.nokia.com and for those landing first to 'Maemo talk', it should show that to learn more about the maemo experience go to maemo.nokia.com or to start participating in the development go to maemo.org. I will promote 'Maemo Talk' heavily on maemo.nokia.com so that there's a place where newbies/users can discuss features and ask questions and so forth. So up until that point it's ok still to say "use google" or "this has been already discussed in another thread, use the search foo!" but not after, please ;-) Cheers, Jussi >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ext Tim >Sent: 14 January, 2009 16:06 >To: List for community development >Subject: Re: Minutes of web design meeting, 13/1/2009 > ><[email protected]> ><[email protected]> >Message-ID: <[email protected]> >X-Sender: [email protected] >Received: from ppp-70-244-240-232.dsl.ksc2mo.swbell.net >[70.244.240.232] with > HTTP/1.1 (POST); Wed, 14 Jan 2009 07:06:04 -0700 >User-Agent: RoundCube Webmail/0.1-rc2 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > > >Personally, I like "Talk" (I think it makes sense and it >matches the subdomain).
