Perhaps. But first it would have to be decided if Qt is the deciding factor, or if it's open source ideology. Blackberry is a nice platform, but it is very closed and not open source at all (except of course the Qt part).

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

Yep, I'm not so interested in BB10 since it's closed. Open WebOS or Firefox OS while being very different are fully open on the other hand. So if the forum will be dedicated to open mobile systems and devices which can run them - Qt won't be the primary decisive factor. This is a question to the community I guess.

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

I reckon we should keep focus on: Maemo 4/5/6x, MeR-based distros, Ubuntu, & maybe BBX (but I have my doubts there).
That should be it for starters IMO... Later we can maybe branch out to include: FFOS/Tizen/OpenWebOS etc.

Even Jolla's plugging XDA nowadays, as they already have a dedicated sub-forum. :-/

Doesn't seem to have anywhere near the following that the new Ubuntu sub-forum already has.
Overall XDA forum structure viewable from here...

I hope admins will address this as soon as migration will be complete.

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

I made a similar proposal here.

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

Ah yes I recall that thread, as a separate issue I raised this in that thread.*
Longer-term it makes sense to go to a different domain name, or at the very least a different site name.

*it was discussed in much more depth in the "name our NFP entity" thread.

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

@ivgalvez: So you think it should be done only after the domain change? I worry that Sailfish will arrive before that, and it will contribute to the current mess on the forum. What is the problem with restructuring already now?

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

I don't think they're against doing it before any domain name change, if we eventually go there.
Domain change seems to have been almost totally absent from most Councillor/BoD members minds since, forever.
If anything, forum restructure has been way further up the priority list...

Agreed though that we need to become a more well-rounded & inviting dev/testers community ASAP.
Part of that is being inclusive of platforms that are closely related ASAP, we should be looking at XDA carefully for a (rough) model on how to succeed.
Being forever Maemo 4/5/6 centric isn't a recipe for longer-term vibrancy/success, keeping the maemo.org domain long-term retains that narrow focus.
But that's not something that needs to change any time soon, more pressing is re-organizing TMO to support more than just Maemo 4-6x.

Re: Restructuring the forum
 

I think re-structuring can be done once migration is all over but domain change should be held back; we are TMO and I don't see why it should be changed when welcoming new OSes just for political correctness...
