Thanks, InternetMeme, wherever you are! I was ascared to try the split myself, and the lowercase trick is indeed quite spiffy.

I generally do it like this:

But I'm not sure if that's entirely "correct", and whether it'd be worthwhile for somebody to go through and use the citation template instead.

Hey, that sounds like my sort of thing. If you'd like, keep making your references the quick way, and I'll follow along behind and convert them as I have time.

OK, started merging the software sections into the main article. Still a little messy right now. I'm gonna leave the 770 and N800 articles as they are for the time being, at least until the main article gets up to speed.

Don't think that was him; or else he forgot to log in.

Ah, right you are. Faceless IP. Well then, thanks to Mr. Anonymous IP!

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Little more improvement. I changed all the relevant links to maemo over to Internet Tablet OS (and cleaned up a lot of stuff around those links :\), so everything should point to the right place now. Still could use a History section for the maemo article.

Digging around the Special:WhatLinksHere/Maemo page I noticed some of maemo-related articles are in particular need of attention. Articles like Canola, FBReader, Scratchbox, Hildon, etc. So I was thinking, since the forums and the talk pages over on wikipedia pretty much suck for any sort of real coordination. So I started pondering on what we might use that would be better. Initially I was thinking maybe a WikiProject, but that is obviously much larger in scope than what we're after. Reading up, I found out about Task Forces, which would be exactly the right fit.

So it looks like a "maemo" task force under the Linux WikiProject would be appropriate. Question is, do we have enough interested people to get something going (5-10 is a good number)?

Added an Internet Tablet to make linking to the devices easier "Nokia [[Internet Tablets]]" instead of "[[Nokia 770]], [[Nokia N800|N800]], and [[Nokia N810|N810]] Internet Tablets". It also provides a nice overview of everything (well, will, once it starts to not suck).

For now, it's very light on everything, but it's there and anybody's help fleshing it out, citing stuff and fixing it up is (as always! :)) much appreciated. Anyway, I'm going to bed. ;)

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

More updates, the Internet Tablet OS section has been cleaned up quite a bit. Thumperward stepped in as a neutral party to clean up the Security section and things are currently looking up. Many thanks to everyone involved!

Despite the impressive improvements to the Internet Tablet OS article, the maemo article is still suffering after the split. Please, please, [i]please[i] could we get someone with good knowledge of the architecture and setup of maemo in there to expand the SDK section of the article? We could also use a bit of history and background for the maemo project, too.

Thanks GA, I would be willing to be part of the Task Force, but I'm not sure how much time I would be able to contribute. I was the one that started to go through some of the sub pages and tagged canola as out-of-date.
