Many others, like myself, have made suggestions too that aren't represented here but I believe to be valid as well. I'm concerned that we're building a community but so many suggestions de-emphasize that by listing a Community section low and even at the bottom! I believe that the best generic order for a MeeGo community forum is: * Community * Development * General .. with all member welcome and resource threads under Community. Certainly such a generic order can be expanded and with that in mind I could see: * Community * Development * Markets (or similar) * General But consistently, I believe any sort of General section should be lowest in priority. We want the focus of discussions to wrap more around specifics than anything vague or only remotely relevant. Who looks for anything in General first? I think this order best represents participant needs, goals and expectations around dialog.
