It can be organised any way that is felt appropriate. If at some stage it is felt that there are too many sub-forums it's not difficult to re-organise and reduce the number of sub-forums.

The organisation of all forums should reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they remain relevant and appropriate for the members and topics under discussion. Meego should be no different - as new devices (or just device categories, ie. netbooks, desktops, phones etc.) appear the decision can be made to add a new sub-forum, or not.

If individual devices are given sub-forums then as these devices become legacy devices with little or no discussion then these forums can be hived off to keep the number of forums manageable.

Creating sub-forums for each device might make sense right now, but if MeeGo takes off and more manufacturers come on board that may not remain the case, but it's all manageable.
