Some thoughts about the integration of ITt with maemo.org as a frequent user of both sites:

- Software precedes hardware.
- It's good to differentiate between platform, official apps and 3rd party apps.
- The best threads should become news @ http://maemo.org/news

Following these principles, here is a proposal to reorganize the forums:

Talk
- General
- Newbie
- maemo.org (community related, Council, website including Talk)
- Off-topic

Applications
- Pre-installed / official
- Community / 3rd party (maybe worth splitting one day between community and commercial?)
--- Sub-forums: Canola, Gaming

OS / Platform
- Maemo 5 / Fremantle
- OS2008 / Maemo 4 / Chinook - Diablo
- OS2006 / Maemo 2 / Mistral - Scirocco - Gregale
- Developers (moving to own section if the topics grow and specialized areas are needed)
- Alternatives (merging Sub-Forums: Android, Debian, KDE, Palm OS)

Devices
- Nokia N810 & WiMAX Edition
- Nokia N800
- Nokia 770
- Accessories
- Competitors
- Buy & Sell (merging Deals & Promos)

Old (these ones don't accept new posts, threads with new comments might be moved to the right forums)
- News
- Announcements
- Troubleshooting
- Upgrading
- Tablet 101
- OS2007 / Maemo 3 / Bora
- OS2005 / Maemo 1

Are we missing one (or two )?

General is probably a good place for devices before they get at least a proof and a name.

Why is

- OS2007 / Maemo 3 / Bora
- OS2005 / Maemo 1
listed under 'old' and

- OS2006 / Maemo 2 / Mistral - Scirocco - Gregale
not old?

- Buy & Sell (merging Deals & Promos)
There is a difference between these 2. Buy & Sell is a platform like Craigslist where the topic starter has direct interest in on a non-commercial basis. Deals & Promos are cheap or compatible suggestions without direct commercial interest of the poster. There is also the Accessoires forum though.

Probably because if you own a 770, OS2006 is the version you're running and not old for you.
OS2005 shouldn't be on any 770 anymore, and OS2007 should not be on N800s. That's why they're old.

Ah. Maybe refer to them as supported and unsupported then.

Also inaccurate.

I would love to see a Mer forum (under OS/Platform) or subforum (under Alternatives), and I know I'll be shot down for this, but I'd like to see an Ubuntu subforum under Alternatives too.

I'm looking forward to the move. It is overdue!

Is the 'Upgrading' forum worth keeping? It seems ill-defined.

And is Palm OS really deserving of a full forum in 'alternatives'? Garnet VM itself could just be discussed in 3rd party Apps, and Palm OS-specific stuff could be on a different site. (By the way, I love Palm OS, so please don't think I'm dissing it!)
