Let's start a new thread for the Forum Structure.
We have several suggestions and a lot of them have similar components:
Quim:
* General
* Community
* Development
Graham:
* Core Development
* App Development
* Community
Dawn:
* Devices
* Users
* App Development
* il10n
* Community
Tero's concerns:
What is the take on having device specific sections or threads in development?
Reference hardware most likely is covered in the device type (mobile, netbook,
set-top...) specific areas, but others?
What if a device manufacturer asks for a sub-forum?
So,
1. I look at Users (by Dawn) and General (by Quim) to be quite
similar. Should we use Users or General?
2. On Development, should we subdivide it to Core Developers and App
Developers? How about device specific development in the future?
3. With regards to Devices, it's a bit early but we can talk about
this as well. Some suggestions:
Suggestion 1 (by company/product):
Devices
* Intel
--- Device X
--- Device Y
--- Company requested sub-forum 1
* Nokia
--- Nokia Nxxx
--- Nokia N900
--- Company requested sub-forum 1
--- Company requested sub-forum 2
* Orange
--- Mobile X
--- Company requested sub-forum 1
Suggestion 2 (by device type):
Devices
* Mobile
--- Nokia N900
* Notebook
--- Notebook X
* Tablet
--- Tablet X
4. How about the Design, Competitors, and Off-topic forums? If we
don't add these, Design topics will definitely get mixed with
Development. Competitors and Off-topic posts will then get mixed with
General/Users.

I am a big fan of sub forums. That being said, app development and core
development should be grouped under development. I like option 2 for the
devices but the device itself should be specified in the thread title.
Some devices will overlap and its always a good idea to be able to
glance at what others are doing with similar devices.
I prefer the term users over general. I am a little unsure about
what community would entail. Are we talking about events and
recognitions? Does users overlap with community, while general does not?
Last but not least, I do like the idea of design, competitors and
off topic forums. Maybe there is a way to group them together and have
it make sense? I do not like the term "other" on a forum. It seems lazy
and confusing.
