Dedicated PyMaemo forum
 
Is there somewhere a dedicated PyMaemo (sub)forum?

No(I didn't find it anywhere), but it would be nice to see something like this somewhere, becouse the support of python(like tutorial etc.) is pretty small..

Yeah, I would like to see a dedicated subforum as well. It would be nice to be able ask a question where it won't get lost in the noise of the other forums.

Can you get this guy to respond to the fact that his part one python tutorial links don't work?

There is a PyMaemo mailing list, FWIW:

I checked the mailing list, but the amount of threads is a small percentage of what's found in the forum, so I still think a subforum would be needed.

What's the "official" way to ask for this?

Well, the PyMaemo subforum here has 0 posts, so the mailing list wins. The developers and maintainers - as well as the Python application experts - are on the mailing list. The only way to get more discussion there is to start discussing there.

It's a chicken and egg problem ;-)

You mean the not-yet-existent subforum? sure ;)

And what exactly are they doing there? :p
There were about a dozen threads there in the last two months.
I think a forum is much better medium; there are more visitors here, it's easier to search. Not even the mailing list itself is easy to find btw...

A lot of very busy technical folk find fora very difficult to follow well; but to answer your question - to get it official, ask in the Community/Website section and possibly demonstrate that there are a lot of Python-specific threads by ensuring everything is tagged well.

Personally, I'd argue the number of development questions which are PyMaemo specific are actually quite small; and that a good sticky or two at the top of the Development forum with committed maintainers linking to tag searches which are well managed would do a lot of good. See the Alternatives section for an example.

Is it possible to tag threads after they have been created? If so, I would be interested on doing this.
