Basically, what is discussed here, is covered by points 1-5 in the previous proposal:

1. In section OS / Platform add "Mer / Nemo / Plasma Active / Sailfish" section, and move relevant threads to there. Try to coordinate with people at these projects and encourage them to participate here.
2. Archive section OS2006 / Maemo 2 / Mistral - Scirocco - Gregale
3. Add a section for Nitdroid. Coordinate with Nitdroid guys to move all the stuff from Nitdroid forums here, if they agree.
4. In section Devices merge subsections for Nokia N810/N800/N700. We will create new sections for upcoming devices.
5. The old section might be less visible to avoid clutter in the main page.
Maybe even do away with devices section entirely (archive), only have:
N.B. Title = Section * = Sub-forum

Maemo OS
*Maemo 4x
*Maemo 5x (freemantle)
*Maemo 6x (meego-harmattan)

MeR-based OS
*Nemo
*Sailfish
*Plasma Active

Ubuntu (maybe, YTBD)
*Ubuntu

BBX (maybe, YTBD)
*BBX

Alternatives (a better, more descriptive, title needed)
*NITdroid
(following could maybe be moved to their own HTML5-based OS section eventually, but possibly not for approx. 1yr)
*Tizen
*FFOS
*OpenWebOS
(maybe the following under a sub-heading?)
*GarnetVM
*Debian Chroot
*WebOS games emulation layer (name escapes me)
*etc.

Competitors (WP, Android, iOS, BBX(maybe), Symbian etc)
We could have sub-forums, or just keep as is, with threads only?

Buying & Selling
*Buying
*Selling

Perhaps we could have a prefix (tags kinda) that one must chose from in a drop-down list?
So if you're in the Sailfish sub-forum & you're starting a new thread, you'd have to chose from:
Jolla or N900 or N9/950 & devchat or end-user & apps or OS/core_apps etc.*
This would either plonk the thread in a further sub-forum under Sailfish, or perhaps just tag it.
So that, depending on what filtering you've chosen, it will/won't appear in the Sailfish sub-forum.
The same or similar methodology could be applied for ALL the sub-forums, not sure if VBulletin has that kind of utility.

*It could default to something from each of those sections, or it could require that you get it right from the outset.
Ideally it'd be retrospectively amendable....
