Gerald,

What about my previous example that when the N810 was the new item.. the N770 still had not caught up to it. Thus, the structure back then would have looked like:
N810/N800
N770
Future

But because of developments on this site and at Nokia the 770 became capable of running anything (mostly) that the N8x0 could. I believe there are still minor gaps that the 770 is incapable of doing, however I don't have exact references just memory. So then we would have re-org'd again since the 770 and 8x0 aren't so different anymore.

So what happens if it comes that Mer becomes a decent alternative to Maemo 5 for the N8x0? Or something else develops that allows N8x0 users to now keep up with the N900??? Should we re-org, yet again?

I think the more feasible solution is operating system, and not platform, based... or Texrat's debian/linux style of "stable, unstable, testing"/"legacy","current","future". That is more maintainable over the various changes that can happen on a dynamic and fluid environment such as this where god only knows where are our devices will be tomorrow.. let alone next year, or by the time the next N9xx is released.

It does create a more constant workload on forum administrators to be moving threads between the various sections as they become outdated or "legacy" as new projects are released... but seems easier than a complete re-org of all categories and everything every time a new device hits the market.

We need to be thinking not just right now.. but 10 years from now. What solution offers the best and easiest adaptable layout for long-term implementation?
