There used to be instructions for MicroB, under Diablo or Chinook, to change the key bindings so that the D-Pad hardware keys would scroll the webpage by a full page (Page Up and Page Down) instead of line-by-line. I know it was in the Wiki. I believe it used to be part of MicroB Tweaks.

I can't find it through the Wiki index or through any maemo.org search or Google search. Did it get (stupidly!!!) edited out of the Wiki?


I finally found it, in the OLD internettablettalk wiki and in a post -- but I'm almost positive it used to be in the Maemo.org Wiki also. Why was it removed?

Hey Gerald, I was thinking of mapping out keys that could be used with Tear using Xbindkeys.

What are some of the short cuts you were thinking about on this?

N900 users scrubbed the wiki clean.

Pages were simply deleted and many many pages that are 770/N8X0-specific (or thought to be) had anything non-N900-related erased.

LUCKILY, if you remember what the page was called you can view old versions of it, even if it was deleted http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Pagetitle&action=history and click on the date link.

Each "platform"/"OS" should have it's own wiki.

If it is true, that can't be allowed .
We must contact the wiki admins to recover those wiki pages.

yeiks, if this is true, then its pure insanity. So because the earlier devices where not phones, they hold no value to these phone carrying nutcases?!

whats the deal here? It seems as if things have gone down hill ever since nokia turned the N900 into a phone!

I remember seeing instructions for setting PgUp/PgDn/Home/End in Fremantle's keyboard layout in the wiki...I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

This is clearly not true.

http://wiki.maemo.org/MicroB_tweaks (the page mentioned in this thread) is one example.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Programming_the_DSP is another page targeting N8x0 and 770 developers.

What *is* true is that I would like to see the main pages of the wiki prioritise content relevant for Maemo 5. I would like to have a portal page for N8x0 content. I would like to use categories (770, N8x0, N900) to classify wiki pages as whether they're useful for users of that device family. This came out of the brainstorm: http://wiki.maemo.org/Brainstorm_2010/Wiki

The agreed wiki priorities, including categorisation of wiki pages by OS or device family, is here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Brainstorm_2010#Wiki

Cheers,
Dave.

Dave, thanks for getting back to us on this. I haven't looked at the newly agreed wiki priorities, but I can tell you this: Even if the wiki wasn't scrubbed entirely clean of Maemo4 info, there are important things that were there which no longer are. Case in point is the Microb Hardware Key Bindings, which I wrote about in the first post.

Where did things like that go? Is there a way to get them back?

If you know the name of the page then you can do:
http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=NAMEGOESHERE&action=history and click on the date link.

Also note there is an old old wiki here:
http://internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Also saying they that they "missed a few" non-N900 pages does not equate that pages weren't deleted (or in most cases completely altered) if they weren't N900 related. Of course that's standard wiki practice. I see it all the time on Wikipedia.

You can only hope that the wiki isn't systematically defaced once Meego devices start to become prominent.

That brainstorm is too little, too late.
