Please file an enhancement request at http://bugs.maemo.org

It needs to be easy, once you are logged into maemo.org, to participate in all of the areas of community activity. This means easy web browsing of the mailing lists' archives, preferably in a threaded format. It probably would be best if the e-mail headers were replaced with maemo.org profile boxes. In short, it should be as easy to browse the mailing lists as it is to browse the forums, if not easier.

Active mailing list and forum threads should be promoted to the maemo.org front page just like planet posts.

Please look at

http://maemo.org/community/maemo-developers/
http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/

And find specific enhancement requests based on what it exists.

It also seems very clear to me that we need a way to make it easy for people to search all the areas of maemo.org community activity, all at once.

So the search engine would search and produce results from:

Maemo wiki

Maemo talk (forums)

Maemo news / planet / announcements

maemo-* mailing lists

Maemo downloads

Maemo garage

As an added bonus, if you are reading a page from any of the above, the search engine could build you a "related reading" list at the bottom of the page that could list the top 3-5 items from around maemo.org that are closest in content to the page you're viewing.

Vote, cmment and help pushing the bug

Scoping maemo search does not work
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684

File additional enchancement requests if needed.

EDIT: maemo.org front page could also have a link to a flickr feed, just to make things more multimedia

Any ideas?

There has been an extensive debate during the past months about redesign of the maemo.org homepage. Please follow http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving...mepage_refresh

So, all your ideas are very good and it's good to see *you* pushing them. As you see though most of them belong to started efforts that actually would welcome feedback and help.

In my experience, it is better to choose your battles and concentrate on just 1-2 where you can make a difference, keeping your contribution there until the task is done. Otherwise we have 1001 started efforts that are stagnant or processing slowly, even if NNN people think they are important and NN even offered help at some point.
