It's not "my way or nothing" it's "my way or the way of someone else who is writing tutorials for beginners".

I would love to hear from someone else who has written Maemo tutorials aimed at beginners, and exchange ideas on how best this could be done.

The problem is that no one seems to be doing this at all.

You talk about arrogance, but how arrogant is it to complain about something without creating an alternative?

How arrogant is it to say "something must be done" but then fail to do it yourself?

There is NOTHING to stop people doing what I did. If they think they can do it better, that's great, go ahead and do it.

But if you don't do it then nothing happens at all, good or bad.


I think you're misunderstanding the situation here.

I did Tablet School on my own, the way I saw fit, in my own time. The reason I did this was precisely because the existing forms of online documentation (including maemo.org) weren't good enough IMHO.

Instead of just whining about how poor the existing documentation was for beginners, I set out to actually do something about it by providing a better alternative.

I was then invited to contribute Tablet School's contents to maemo.org, so that beginners would have somewhere to go on the site.

I posted on here asking for feedback on whether other people would like to contribute, and what form the new school would take.


I am not volunteering for all-purpose duties helping Maemo, I'm here offering to restart Tablet School as part of maemo.org.

If you are happy with the existing Wiki, and if you think the principles by which Tablet School site ran were misguided, then there is nothing I can offer the site.
