I really believe that first we need to agree on the Intro page, and then scale down to the "introductory" pages deriving from this one.
You can more or less start from the last post at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33577 since I left a "radical" post this morning. Radical only because I try to go to the root of the problem to solve.

maemo.org/intro still needs to cater to developers - but if we can have a big red button with a label "Developers and über-geeks go here!" which brings them somewhere else, that might do.
But to me it's important for a new user coming to maemo.org to know in the intro that this is a community project, and be pointed to places where they can join in and listen to the conversation also.
I'll bring all that to the other thread...

Can someone perhaps explain to me what the difference (to the reader) is between the pages "Maemo5 101", "New users" and "Maemo basics"? The all appear to be addressing the same basic need: how do I get started with my device?
Perhaps I'm missing something, though - which is why I'm asking here. It seems like providing too many front doors into the house is almost as bad as providing none - especially if behind each door you have a slightly different room.
Shouldn't these pages be consolidated? I'd prefer to consolidate them into a page called "Getting started" since I like page titles that talk about what the user wants to do, rather than the type of person the page is aimed for, or what the content of the page is.
Dave.
