With all due respect, maemo.org is still a quite active site with a number of different types of services, numerous stakeholders with various interests and a big number of users (almost 50.000 only TMO), generating a mass especially of forum posts. This cannot work in a democratic way, or has anyone of us ever worked in a democratic company (especially of this size)?
We can make a lot of proposals, but whether they are realizable (in any technical, financial or whatever way) or not, is by far out of our mean user's scope. Most of them require a certain amount (more or less) of money and effort to realize, which most of us don't even think about spending ourselves.
Moreover, moderator is much more but just a nice title. Has one of us ever tried to stay tuned just with some threads like the http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...hlight=windows one (more than 3,5 thousand posts in 1,5 months)? It would require a team of professional full-time moderators just for one thread. I wouldn't expect too much from the moderators, while most of us wouldn't even spend some time to create a wiki page. And it is even not said, that they are the ones, responsible for technical system maintenance like this. Generally, even if practice often deviates, moderators' job is to stay somewhat "off topic" on a communicative meta level (even in topics like this).
But ejasmudar, if you feel, you have some spare time to spend on moderating TMO, feel free to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. I think they may certainly appreciate some help.
