Reggie, what are your thoughts about the possibility to classify or tag the threads in sections that can belong to different devices? Do you thing that could be done in an easy way?

Thread prefixes can be set to be required or optional.

If we had something like tags to classify the threads to their corresponding platforms, that shouldn't be necessary.
Right now, the Applications, Games, etc.. subforums don't belong exclusively to the N900. As you can see, some OP are now including in the title to which machine applies.

also i would like to suggest "auto-merge" of Duplicate threads..
since the duplication is never on-purpose, mostly due to bad connectivity
its merging and not deleting because i feel each user comment is special..
so 5 comment's in this tread,& 2 comment's on duplicate one.. needs to get merged (according to post timestamps) rather then deleting
auto-merging formula can be something like
P.s. i don't know if this feature already exists in Talk.Maemo.Org . or its done manually..
since i have stuck some times due to duplicate submissions & ended-up writing "please delete this thread" and also "please goto to this thread"

same username + same title of thread + time(within 1 hr) == auto-merge

I also still want to see Community as the first section, and the sticky thread New members say hello moved into it from the ambiguous General.
I just strongly believe that Community comes before anything General, and member fellowship belongs as a part of it.

We would need the Council to approve it, though.

i still think this structure would be much better:
Software
I-Maemo
I I-Applications
I I-Games
I I-...
I-Mer
I I-...
I-...
and so on for every aspect of the forum, a nice logical tree structure

I think that devices and os'es should be merged as only the N800 and N810 share the same OS. All other devices have their own os. I always find myself wondering where to start a new thread about e.g. a software issue on the N900. We could have OS2007/770, OS2008/N8x0, Maemo5/N900, Harmattan/N9-50, Mer/other, other/other

I don't think for example Mer needs that many subforums. I would make alternatives it's own section that includes it as a subsection something like
Alternatives
-> Mer / Nemo
-> nitdroid
-> ...
-> other
Alternatives
-> Mer / Nemo
-> nitdroid
-> ...
-> other
