That being said, I was just curious as to if this kind of thing would serve the community better if established as a wiki page? I personally think it would be a more concise approach than someone having to try and extract relevant information from relevant posts.

Don't get me wrong, I think the topic at hand is a great one to be discussed; I just think it could be tackled at a different angle.

Also, is it possible to perhaps track trends that cause the battery to deplete at a more rapid rate? For example, I know that it was mentioned that RAM and CPU usage are factors. Is it feasible to come up with solid numbers such as "applications that use xMB of memory or consume x% of the CPU are known to drain the battery. I would think doing so would make tracking down culpret applications less daunting than say, hoping that they are all in bugzilla or that someone has posted about said application.

As for me helping out, I'm still waiting for my n900 to come in, so I am unable to do any of the above. I do look forward to being a more envolved part of this community though in the coming weeks ;-)
