 1. I think it's not a good idea to install apps directly from sources
 in any Debian system. In the case of the Nokia Tablet I would say
 that it's a must not to do so.
Fine,  I don't like it neither, there's a package manager for that. But
in my first approach, I tough it was the way.


 2. I think it's not necessary to use KDE. I find the Hildon Desktop
 enough for user applications.
Yep, probably yes (I'm really newbie). But I'd like something more
beautiful like e17, or known (for me) as kde... as kde is too big,
proably e17 will be my next WM.


Could someone talk a little about mamona? is 0.1 stable enough? 
Does it use less space?

 Nevertheless, I think that, by default, the Tablet tries to create the
 virtual memory on the FAT partition, so that if you want to use
 virtual memory, you'll need to hack the system in order to mount your
 own swap partition.
Mmm... I did not find the partition you mentioned... 
I finally did the 2GB partition.


 Besides you'll need a separate /home partition to mount when you want
 to connect the Tablet to the PC via USB. Because I suppose it's not a
 good idea to mount at your PC the whole root file system of the
 Tablet (unless you mount it with read only permissions).
Well, I use ssh server and I think it's enough for me... at least till
now. 

 Cheers,
 Sebas.
Thanks for your reply,
Arnau

## Review of proposed May sprint items

There were a lot of new proposals. They were split into 2 categories: to
do in May, and Backlog. Backlog items are low priority items which
might (a) take a long time, and (b) be very difficult.

### New items

* Implement ServerInfraPlan - Marcell
** Cache issues and login issues depend on this
* Documenting in maemo.org the web development process. Dave
** Dave will be asking people lots of questions about this
* improve extras assistant/promotion interface -Niels

* triaging/syncing bugs that have been duplicated to garage tracker
(currently underway) - Andre/Karsten

* automatic updating of maemo.org/downloads on upload to extras. -Niels

components. get rid of [EMAIL PROTECTED] default assignee. urge
developers to add themselves to the watchlist for products they are/feel
responsible for. - Andre/Karsten
* assign all open bugs to correct default assignees. there's a total of
1227 open bugs, 831 of them assigned to [EMAIL PROTECTED] many reporters
have the impression that nobody cares at all about their reports.
-Andre/Karsten

software Ubuntu are using. Make proposal on brainstorming site before
end of May - Dave

the community, contractors and volunteers. Encourage people to update
their information to keep the document up to date - Dave

about in this thread:
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2008-May/017624.html
and try to come up with a sane way to keep it up to date and get answers
to the questions people are asking from the definitive source - Dave
* Start publishing weekly reports about bugs.maemo.org activity, format
to be improved. Andre/Karsten

### Backlog

* start nagging developers on urgent issues (depends on the yet to
create Who's who list). -Andre/Karsten

email addresses, and if it doesn't exist, getting svn access - Dave
