I think the worry is that we'll be duplicating Downloads functionality between the two sites, and thus creating fragmentation, which is undesirable. For instance, assuming that the maemo.nokia.com's catalog is simply a subset of maemo.org's, will maemo.nokia.com's "Downolads" offer comments and ratings? -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair _______________________________________________ maemo-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community
