Apparently only users in one of the groups user, Administrators, Moderators, Super Moderators can edit the wiki.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I tracked down the incompatibilities between version down to an incompatibility between the following libraries:
hildon-libs0 (from os2007, won't install on os2008) and
osso-af (new in os2008).
hildon-fm1, a library commonly needed for software originating in os2006 will also not install without hildon-libs0.
Apparently, hildon-libs0 will not be updated, so most os2007 applications will never install without a recompile. And we already know that many applications were never recompiled from os2006 to os2007. abiword, anyone?
There is also a conflict between libossomime0 (os2007) and libhildonmime0 (os2008) but it seems to concern less applications. libdbus-1-2 has also been updated to libdbus-1-3, maybe a symbolic link is all what is needed in that case.
