Yes. The reason for the choice is poor visibility of wiki pages.
Make a good page, a home for the Diablo community, and then we can decide where best to link it into the rest of maemo.org.
Ok. I didn't realize Midgard was so bad as to affect editing simple content.

MWKN = Maemo Weekly News
SSU = Seamless Software Updates
the MWKN always confuses me because I don't expect it to have a K

what are MKWN n SSU
SSU = Seamless Software Update, the name Nokia used in Diablo to describe the updating of the Maemo operating system using apt, so meaning upgrades with no reflash.

I would think you would agree that there is a rather significant difference in poor grammar in an original post vs. EDITING a direct quote from someone in a way that doesn't clearly/accurately show that it has been edited.
If nothing else I would think that it would make sense to a moderator.
Your reply honestly reads like 'yeah but you did bad too!!' and ignoring my comment about your editing.
Having said that, my use of dashes was apt in the sentence in question so not sure why you even brought that up.
Anyway, this is off-topic. PM me if you want to continue discussing.

Good to see the discussion moving off the original boring topic and onto the critical importance of ellipses formatting.
