Okay, well, obviously my suggestion isn't popular with everyone. :-)

How about this as an alternative proposal?

-Maemo School section using the same basic format as the Downloads section, including a category-based index (with different categories to downloads of course).

-Anyone can contribute a tutorial on any Maemo topic, or on topics related to hardware which runs the Maemo platform.

-Tutorials can be using any method (video, text, animations) but it must be viewable on the website, i.e. it must not require a download or any link clicking.

-All tutorials subject to quality checking and feedback process from Maemo School admins. They can reject a tutorial if they want to, but if they do so they must give instructions on how the tutorial could be made acceptable for inclusion.

-Tutorials covering the same topic from different angles could be merged onto one page by admins (for example a video tutorial could be embedded with a text tutorial covering the same topic)

-Choice of school admin(s) would have to be done by some kind of community process.

...I think that would be simpler and less controversial, but the quality control process could help it avoid the problems the wiki has had in being unstructured and inconsistent.

Those who want unfiltered help could still use the wiki, while those who want a more filtered experience could use the Maemo School section.
