If we end up solution where community maintains maemo.org we should also check what stuff need to be moved to developer.nokia.com . I am not lawyer but If I rightly remember, least some 3rd party stuff that are part of these images has some distribution limitations.

tabletsdev is the only area which has material that is under licences (Nokia and third party), and it has the necessary checks in place to fullfill the requirements for distributing those pieces of software. So look there to see what needs to be moved.

Aside from that, the thing that most people here don't seem to grasp is the size of maemo.org. The forums are one small part of it all. The big parts are the old autobuilder, the new OBS, the repositories and the content delivery network. Those keep the show running for the devices out there.

If you recall the N900 has Extras as an official repository. That means that every single day, every single network connected N900 pings the repository (the content delivery network in the middle takes the load) and checks if something has changed.

While the forums are certainly helpful and entertaining, the real beef is in the software distribution tools that are part of maemo.org.
