This is an experimental thread to help newcomers getting basic questions answered. It has certain rules.

If you have a question

1. Check http://maemo.nokia.com (users) and http://forum.nokia.com/maemo (developers)
2. Check the Frequently Asked Questions
3. Use the Search

If at this point you still have a question... reply to this thread writing one question and only one in a single sentence.

If you need to get into longer details or you want to share your opinions etc then you surely want to start a new thread instead.

If you have an answer

• Quote & reply the original question.
• Reply with a single sentence containing a link - or even better a link alone.
• Ideally the link should point to a static/wiki nokia.com or maemo.org page. Sending people to long threads, mail discussions or even micro/blog posts is not a sustainable solution.
• If this question has been raised several times feel free adding the answer to Frequently Asked Questions and point to it in your answer here.
• If in addition of your answer you want to discuss further, don't do it here. Just add a link to the existing or new thread.

Posts not following these rules might be deleted without further explanation, for instance discussion posts, Me too's, Thank You's, funny jokes and so on. Each of these exceptions is innocent in its own but all together might just add the % of noise we want to avoid for newcomers.

fwiw the idea of this thread came from: A small suggestion from a bear of very little brain.
