IMO each major sub-forum (within each section e.g: maemo, mer, alternative, competitors) should just have it's own "Applications" sub-forum.
But you should be able to add "tags" for more than just the sub-forum you're posting in, so that (if necessary) it can appear in more than one at once.
No idea if that sort of thing is possible with VBulletin though...

Just a proposal and regarding other subforums, I dont think other devices except for maemo devices deserve so much diiferent sectionsnas the maemo devices. So IMO mer should be have a subforum in competitors, alternatives or whatever, but it should NOT have its own development, application forum. The main focus should be Maemo and maemo only, IMO.
Maemo has no future*, do you know of any new Maemo devices coming out this year?
There's one nextgen Qt mobile device coming out this yr, possibly more, within 18mth there'll definitely be at least 3, & that's not even including BBX or the HTML5-centric platforms.
If Hildon is to be a strong entity 2yrs from now, it needs to embrace more than just Maemo 4-6x.
It needs to do so fully not half-heartedly, & it needs to do so soon, before other sites become the "go to" place.

*except amongst a minuscule & hard-core group of well-informed enthusiasts
