Hey, when reasonable requests fail to generate interest, you know a bit of drama always will.

So, at the start I primarily intended this to be focused on the maemo page (with a bit of work on the tablet pages), but as we seem to have managed to get the maemo page more or less up to snuff, I believe it may be worthwhile to focus a little effort on some of other articles for things related to the platform. In particular, I'd hope for some expansion on the Hildon, Matchbox, OMAP, and (possibly, although I'm not sure it makes sense) a new article for Xomap.

~~We could probably use an article on Modest, too.~~

OK, here's my abortion of an article on Modest. As it turns out, my knowledge of Modest is essentially non-existent. History section in particular needs some TLC, as it's just embarrassing at the moment.

Tinymail article is also in the works.

A link to this should probably be created in the Diablo section of the maemo page. I tried, but I'm somehow not understanding how to set it up right.

Internal links on wikipedia are done like so:

Code:

[[page|optional alternative title]]

For Modest:

Code:

[[Modest (application)|Modest]]

Added another abortion, Tinymail. The references should provide an interested party with all the information they need to flesh out the article if they wanted to try, I'll probably get around to making it useful later this week if not. In particular, though, I'd like somebody to confirm that my IPA pronunciation isn't completely bogus.

Thanks. I somehow misread Wikipedia's documentation and thought I should be using a colon, not a pipe, as the separator.

I'm new to this, but I'll catch on eventually. I hope.

I'm not exactly a veteran myself.

You catch on as you go along. Their documentation is fairly straightforward, but looking at existing articles for examples is a good method for learning.

Out of interest, who is the unregistered personage who is contributing all those wonderful grammar and spelling fixes?

Well, that would be me, learning. I hope you're not too upset with what I've done! *hides*

I added a few bits and pieces to the maemo page, the n800 and a tiny bit ot the n810. As I think of more things I will put them in. Worth raiding sections of ITT's wiki to go on?

Excellent! Seriously helpful stuff. You should consider registering, though.

I noticed, and thanks! The little stuff is particularly easy to miss. :<

Probably not. Pretty much all of the information we need is available from more official and static sources, but if you see something you want to add, feel free. It can always be modified later if needed.

*sigh*

meanwhile's back up on his soapbox. :\

Apparently we're all professional PR plants from Nokia trying to undermine his valiant attempts to protector users and developers by exposing maemo's horrible security.
