Currently
http://maemo.org/news
aggregates sources that are basically relevant to developers. This means that, after the community editorial of loves and hates, most of the news reaching
http://maemo.org
homepage are developer oriented as well.
How to change this?
And what's more, how to change this without loosing the current (good) level of news for developers?
Some ideas:
- Everybody here go to
http://maemo.org/news
and love the news you like. We will get developer oriented news if developers and power users are the only ones rating those news.
- Split Announcements in Developer announcements (the current ones) and Community announcements (channeled by the Council), being the latter the ones appearing in the homepage. Developers can always subscribe to the specific feed for developer announcements.
- Open the
http://planet.maemo.org
to more end user oriented blogs. Or actually split the Planet asking bloggers to have a tag/category for generic posts interesting to anybody and developer oriented posts. Yes, sometimes both are mixed and then they can use both categories/tags.
- Create a way to promote ITt/tmo threads to
http://maemo.org/news
- so they can be promoted to the top headlines from there.
- maemo.nokia.com will have also news targeting end users, and we could aggregate them.
Share your ideas!
