Hey friends, I have been a spectator on this forum right from the time news of the N900 leaked on the internet.But only joined once i purchased the phone in July.

This forum has helped me a lot in cementing my decision to buy the N900. I am a new user to Linux and I have no prior experience with Linux. It was only after buying the N900 did I realize the true power of Linux. I was so impressed with it that I now have Ubuntu 10.10 dual-booting on both my PC & laptop.

I initially did not mess with the N900 for fear that I might screw it up with irreversible damage. But I slowly started tweaking with it which then led to bigger & bigger hacks & mods. At present I am triple booting NITDroid 0.0.9, Gingerbread & Maemo.

All this could not have been possible without the continuous support of this amazing community.Thanks to everyone here who have helped me at some point.

Finally the reason to start this thread is that I would like to give back some of that support to others in this forum. After messing around with my phone for more than 6 months I have gained quite a bit of knowledge on problems that occur on the N900. I visit this forum almost twice everyday and notice that a lot of newbies join here everyday & post their problems haphazardly in any sub-forum without even trying to search and see if the problem has been mentioned before.

So I propose that a new sub-forum called HELP ZONE be created where everyone that joins Maemo.org and has a problem they can post their problems here & the wonderful people in this forum will help them solve the issue.

This new sub-forum can be further divided into smaller categories based on the devices released so far with Maemo OS. This sub-forum of HELP ZONE will only cater to problems of the specific devices & nothing else. This is help streamline Maemo.org and also help to cut bandwidth & server costs.

Also once the problem of that individual has been solved the thread can then be locked & deleted by the Mods.

Please vote & leave your comments here friends so that we can help each other out & show the new members what an awesome community we are.
