So before you all went on and on in this thread about needing a FAQ in the Wiki, there was already a thread about it and the FAQ was already started. (Which you would have known if you had done a basic search before posting about how badly a FAQ needed.)
For all the talk about how a Wiki FAQ is the answer, only Red actually looked at the Wiki and perhaps gave a thought to starting it. And THAT is the reason these things usually fail... lots of talk and no action.

I can't believe you typed that.

I don't know if it is just me but I have to put a "www" in front of internettablettalk.com in order for the wiki to accept me as logged in and then there is no CSS to the page. Is this just a me problem?

I always hoped I'd get out before the civil war started. Not so sure anymore...

Still, being witness to the birth of the Republic of Flanders would compensate.

Oh, it's not for me, it's for my friend Pitr, he has this little world domination side project :

" Republic of Flanders " ?!

I guess as a Fleming ( and Belgian ) abroad, I should check into the Belgian news more often.

...which in turn should be coincident with the annexion of Wallony by our Napoleon IV. And there be much rejoicing...

I believe I haven't missed a cartoon since the very first one just over ten years ago :-)

Are you so sure ? For example, maybe you have reflashed your tablet at least once to upgrade the system ? If so, would you say that providing an entry-level step-by-step on how to flash a tablet (under Windows of course) would be above your ability ? A few links to the relevant Nokia/Maemo pages ; some copy/paste of existing docs ; a couple of warnings about common pitfalls, taken from the several threads on this topic we have here.

Doesn't sound like much ? Yet time and again we get the total newbie plea, "What is flashing ? How do I do it ?"... like today. If you guys are to be consistent in your stance, then "read your tablet documentation" or "do a search" or "go buy a PocketPC" are not valid answers : there should be a page in the FAQ, and that could be more value added than it seems.

C'mon : "I'm not worthy" is just that -- an excuse :-)

You don't like my attitude, I get it. I don't particularly care for yours either, based on the way you started this thread. You complained about a situation but offered nothing as an alternative. And when an alternative was presented that you liked, you took no action to make it happen.

My attitude comes from the frustration I have with people who don't help themselves and rely on (in fact, expect) others to do the work for them.

I've been involved in other forums about other devices before, and I know that it is always the case that only a very few people do most of the research and work. Guess I'm a bit burnt out, and I had a late night with very little sleep. So you get an apology for any attitude in the last post... but prove me wrong by doing something and not just complaining.

The irony is that no one is going to search for this thread.

Expecting newbies to know all the protocols and customs of a forum is unreasonable. I suggest patience, CONSTRUCTIVE guidance, and for some -- dropping the cranky attitude.

I hadn't noticed that exactly, but I seem to get logged out every time a save a Wiki edit, and then have to start at the main page again. I'll have to check the resulting URL next time after a save, to see if the "www" is a factor.

I don't think you're going to find much about it in the Belgian newsmedia, which these days closely resemble the Sovjet "media" from the seventies. Go for blogs and non-print media (In Flanders Fields and The Brussels Journal, e.g.).
