My Main point - why is there no where with more detailled guide lines and walkthroughs for common/difficult tasks? No answer - no suggestions from you??


....... SO...... any ideas to why there is no area for walkthroughs for newbies or you just going to carry on with the sarcy comments?

If anyone else is interested in walkthroughs for difficult/non standard installs, I would be happy to learn how to do them, install them on my N900 (with photos/screenshots) and post them after a vetting from a helpful senior member, vote now......
The developer is more concerned with making it work rather than posting a walkthrough for how to install it. The people who are likely testing it are more concerned with reporting bugs, issues then writing a walkthrough for it. Which takes time (and people aren't being paid to be here).

So for anyone else who wants to learn how to use it their options are to read up on the posts, or to wait till someone has time to post a guide. But given how small the community was, most people have been in the developer, or testing role.

Given all the new people here that want to see things change I see it as a perfect opportunity for them to read through the posts and learn and then create a walkthrough for everyone else. It's a perfect opportunity since Maemo 5 and the n900 is relatively fresh (less to read right now). Especially those who actually have the device.

And like I pointed out before, there is a wiki so there has been attempts made to centralize the information. It's more an issue of time.
