Again, this is not an absolute at all but comes down to use case.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

A very good idea...
The MeeGo site does not look like it was designed by committee and seems to work very well, IMHO. If it was done in house, there may be a couple of skilled individuals there that can be utilized.

BTW, never used drupal but I believe there is a fork of drupal called vbdrupal or somesuch that may offer another alternative.

I fully agree with starting from scratch ,with single sign-on, and a structure similar to this. I am relatively new to this community and Maemo since the arrival of the N900. For me this community is my first stop when it comes to solving any issue I have had with my device. Granted there is a lot of "noise" that has to filtered through to find what you need at times. Imo this format is logical and easy to navigate for newcomers. Also, if the Moblin community does not have structured community such as ours then the migration to a Meego community will seem less obtrusive and more inviting if everyone is on the same playing field.

I am grateful for all who have contributed to make this community what it is today, and maybe the best way to honor that is to leave this forum for "legacy" devices.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

first of all bear my english from time to time sucks as im not native english speaker.

maemo.org should be left alone from meego, also moblin should be left alone for whatever they have, meego should have a community merging the best of the two OS which i think we have the most of the good things and the moblin community is more mail list type.

so we make a copy of this forum reorganize the talk structure keep the other thing as they are like garage brainstorm etc.

and we make a new community, why we make a new community from scratch because this wont be NOKIA alone, we will have more HW developers jumping in the meego wagon, so i feel we should make the community from scratch.

but hey im new here my first tablet is my N900 and i havent been long enough here in maemo.org, but i love the way things are here and i think we should have the same thing in MEEGO

Maemo should be left like it is and not moved, you can make a thread asking for people that wants to migrate in the future to Meego to register at meego and the guys developing for maemo that wants to jump to meego to move overthere and thats it.

Well, having talked to a few of the Intel people over there the conclusion seems to be that the current meego.com is a result of PR requirements from Intel and Nokia, and that now we can actually focus on making it something useful for the community now that the launch is passed.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

If all discussion of future versions of the OS (Meego) and the devices it runs on takes place elsewhere, how long will "here" be here? Is it logical to assume a long lifespan for maemo.org when "maemo" is a thing of the past that only runs on a few discontinued Nokia devices?

I'm asking questions because I don't know the answers. But I hope some thought will be given to the best strategy for maintaining community support for legacy devices and their OS versions. It seems to me that their might be some advantages in having Meego (and its community and forums) inherit some responsibilities toward its parent OSs.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Just a vaguely on-topic thought. If we start something new, it might be a good time to discuss the level and style of moderation. I see a number of requests for tighter moderation now this place is a large community. Might be worth discussing.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Fyi, I'm testing an add-on that I made that forces a user to register at meego.com first before registering on the vB forum (in sandbox) so usernames would always match. Hopefully this will make it easier for future integration.

It's working well but am open for any better solutions.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Keep in mind that (unlike Maemo) Meego OS does not include the UI, etc., on top of the OS. So Nokia devices will have differentiation in that way (the way that HTC etc puts their UI on WinMo and Android) and such devices and differentiation may not be discussed on MeeGo. Add to that the fact that people will try to put Meego on N900 and Maemo apps on MeeGo and that there will be more MeeGo devices (Nokia and otherwise) than there would have been Nokia Maemo devices. MeeGO does the heavy lifting on the low level stuff and so only discussions of that kind of stuff will need to move to MeeGo.
