For "Maemo", please see Maemo Trademark FAQ and Usage Guidelines. The proper usage of "maemo.org" is also briefly touched upon in those documents, but isn't spelled out as clearly.

It looks like something upon which we need to work. Thanks!

There are quite a few of those folks here already. For instance: me. They're welcome here. You're welcome here.

In fact, Tim Samoff, twice voted into the Maemo Community Council, isn't a developer. He's a designer, a power user, and a champion of end user needs.

You do not need to sling code, or want to, to be part of our community.

My experience with MicroB and Opera on the tablets leaves me disagreeing with you completely. But, that's why it's so nice we have a growing number of choices now. MicroB, Tear, Fennec Betas, Digia @web, and links are here now, and there are probably more on the way.

Please, keep visiting. See how things work here. See what things aren't working here. Then, make suggestions; file bugs*; recommend refinements and improvements to the web sites, forums, mailing lists, and everything else; and best of all, feel free to step in where you can and care to, and help make things better.

None of us are good at everything. You're not a programmer, you're a user-focused guy. Well, great! If you see a need and feel a drive, step in and help with user-focus stuff. For a start, please get your writings syndicated on Planet.

We keep bouncing ideas around on how to help programmers, UI/UX designers, and users/testers come together to build great things. Maybe you'll help us pull that together.

Welcome to the community. Thanks in advance for any and all contributions you make, from blog posts to whatever.


* No, not just for the tablet software, but for the websites, forums, etc. too. We've bug reporting tools for all of it, even the bug reporting tool.
