That does sound like a good idea. Something like a maemo.org/diablo could be the 'homepage' for Diablo users and all relevant links (wiki and not) gathered on one page.
Maybe even more importantly a 'What's New'-section where items like the SSU, etc could be posted....and then that page could be used by the tableteer app
Since it wouldn't be a static page - and not a wiki - there would be the issue about who makes the updates, how is content selected, maintained, etc.

You do know you can do anything you want in a wiki page? Why does the choice of technology limit what you can do?
Trust me, you'd rather edit stuff in MediaWiki than Midgard ;-)
You can make a wiki page a portal (i.e. a jumping off point to other places), embed RSS feeds, put images in, whatever you like. If it scratches your itch, do it.
For example, http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer is a MediaWiki page; as is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. You can just get started, and put as much style and design into it as you want.

Most style guides call for a space between the dots. Typesetters and page designers use something called a thin space or a non-breaking space that prevents the ellipsis points from getting spread over two lines in a document (6). Also, many fonts have an ellipsis symbol that you can insert, but for everyday purposes, it's fine to use regular spaces between the ellipsis points. Type period-space-period-space-period (7).
Also, there should always be a space on each side of an ellipsis."
Maybe especially important for a moderator to lead by example on something like this

Ok. I didn't realize Midgard was so bad as to affect editing simple content.
Recent N8x0 highlights which have been covered by MWKN:
That's in the last 3 issues. I can't seriously take the "incredible oversight" about a lack of specific section for N8x0 news when a) there's comparatively little of it and b) MWKN isn't overflowing with news. Skimming the complete issue for news of interest should take 5 minutes.
Short version: if MWKN doesn't carry the news you want, submit it. If you don't like it, tell us why. If you still don't like it, start your own. There's nothing maemo.org "official" about it. More contributors are always welcome.
