<snip>...As long as maemo.org keeps being "the interesting place", other Maemo related sites will keep referring to it in their work. Following everything is difficult already now for someone working full time in Maemo. maemo.org itself has ways to distil top downloads, top news, top discussions... but still it's useful that people with a focus on something go and showcase / translate / summarize / illustrate / frontally attack their own area of interest to their own readers or members.

A percentage of those readers / members will grow their knowledge and interest in Maemo, and if maemo.org accomplishes well its role they inevitably will come here with fresh brain, blood and hands willing to get more involved.

And something very important to keep in mind: these "new" people interested in Maemo these days are highly important for the success of Maemo (and maemo.org, I'd say) beyond its natural boundaries within the Linux and open source communities. Many people is getting enthusiastic about new aspects in maemo, and this is extremely good. Many people is actually no newbie but quite expert, only not in Maemo until now...</snip>
