oldpmaguy, I am mystified as to what you're expecting.

First off, maemo.org is not pre-installed as a bookmark in my browser: all the nokia sites (support, files etc) are there, along with maemo-select, which is another Nokia site. The maemo.org respository is enabled in the current firmware, but that doesn't actully need you to visit the site: you open 'download' and choose software from there. Plenty of happy n900 users are doing exacly that, and never setting paw round here.

Secondly, you still seem to be confusing the connection (or lack thereof) between this place and Nokia. If you are testing software from the maemo.org repos, you are testing for maemo.org or a particular dev. You are not doing anything for Nokia. They don't put software in the maemo.org repos at all. There was some testing done here for Nokia, but by a very tiny, handpicked minorty selected for trustworthiness and previous experience in testing. But that was by no means the rest of us.

This place is not Nokia. If you're looking for Nokia, you want to support forums. Yes, I know they're pretty useless - what proprietry forums aren't? This place has a slightly ambivalent connection with Nokia, not least because some of the paid employees choose to spend some of their free time here. But the folks here are volunteers. They do this for the love of it, and for fun. The services of maemo.org are not included in your contract of purchase with Nokia.

Now, helpful suggestions about improving things round here are welcome. Wholesale griping is not. And by and large you will be expected to do a chunk of searching for yourself and finding your own answers from the extensive wiki and forum knowledge base. People who come in and ask a question for which the the answer is staring them in the face are likely to get short shrift (remember, these people are volunteers - no-one is paid to be patient with you!) So complaining that you don't know what 'diablo' is, when a quick look at the 'talk' front page shows that diablo is OS 2008, so presumably not what you need isn't going to go down well - added to which you n900 (with its preinstalled repos) won't download from there unless you muck around with it. The pre-installed one directs you to the one that appropriate.

Do a bit of hunting around here. Find a few of your own answers. Read in the wiki. Then come back with your questions and you'll be met with more patience. And the first thing to learn is that this place isn't Nokia.
