It seems its always been a mix which is good. But new users are often confused about devices and os versions and what they can and cannot install. What is safe to use and what is hacked up.

Some of these things could be addressed directly, but perhaps a tutorial of what to expect and how to use maemo.org What new user should know, how to register accounts, how to get karma from thanks. Lots of intricacies that perhaps are not clearly outlined.

To me some kind of mechanism to only view "end user" threads, and some way in my profile to then be able to enable viewing advanced user thread could be useful. Some kind of WARNING could be shown saying that the instructions following some of these threads could cause you to lose data or could damage the device? Not sure if its possible or even a good idea, but it may be worth considering.

Now that our beloved device is a phone, you don't want half the end user base coming here and messing up their device and have to reflash and lose data, this will not be a good.

Or perhaps a NEW user interface with a tutorial and some reading and learning before getting a full interface?
