Yeah they are both great for the role but it's volunteers i'm looking for, not appointees.

An immediate task for someone who would like to help out without a daunting commitment of any kind is to make up official thread headers for the games in Extras. Having all the games in the download section point to a homepage thread or wiki on Maemo.org that has a nice presentation and adequate information is a good first step.

Here are examples:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40954
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40868
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40903

You can click "Quote and Reply" on whichever of those is the closest fit for the game in question, and then copy and paste the text into a new thread post and modify it as needed. Look up the licensing information online or in the license or copyright files in the game package. Give concise instructions on how to play. Link to the upstream source. Etc. I have the original large image of the keyboard to make the keymap diagram, if you need it.

I can handle reassigning the thread as needed if you don't want any further involvement.

Please do contact the game maintainer before doing this to make sure you have their approval and input.
