When I was first trying to find the wiki I found it difficult because I started from www.maemo.org. Even today I often go to www.maemo.org and change it to wiki.maemo.org to get to the wiki.

As usual, things are made extra difficult for newbies.

Yes, everyone is an expert on choosing correct google terms and the first instinct of a newbie when he knows he's on the correct site is google all the sites in the world for the correct page.

And newbies all know to use Power Search and not the much bigger Search field.

I have to agree that the navigation on maemo.org is case example on how to not do user friendly web-page.

This is easy place for people who have been here for at least couple of months daily but to all newbies this is just too wide. Too much information on first sight.

Also imo default search should be replaced with power search across maemo.org. If I have understood correctly currently we have at least 3 different search engines from SAME box across maemo.org. I think that some usability engineers would rip their heads off just because of this :|

heheh..Nope. Just overly eager devels that have amazing ideas and energy to discuss and then discuss and maybe little more discuss on how something should be implemented.

Every place is filled with links and text and more text.

I have once asked for flowchart or tree of whole sitemap as PICTURE because at least I do not still understand totally whole structure of this webpage :|

.edit
Actually I should try to do it myself with sitemap tools..
