A lot of skilled people is joining our community these days, they are familiar with terminal application, but not with Linux, so there's a high demand for a quick reference with the X-terminal commands, I know that they are Linux standard commands (with a few exceptions), but a branded maemo.org reference card would be nice (even for noob).

Here is a example of what I'm talking about: phoenix.goucher.edu/~kelliher/f2006/cs245/linux1.pdf

Any volunteer to design something like that ?

something like that on the maemo wiki with links to the man pages would be cool to see, or even real examples on the wiki instead of man pages.

That's great to quickly identify the right command and then check its man page, but without man[1] on the device it's a bit too terse to be useful I think.

An excellent starting point would be http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html, obviously with commands missing from the Maemo busybox removed and some extras added.

[1] Perhaps it's time to rethink the whole docpurge business?

Great idea, loads of commands on the device that need man pages.
