Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Meanwhile, I would like to bring it to your attention that your edition of the article is incomplete. For example, you are not mentioning that OS2008 has no sufficient protections from the Flying Spaghetti Monster attacks. Also, you have completely avoided the fact that a hit with an OS2008-based device properly directed at someone's head can leave the victim incapacitated for the rest of his or her life. Finally, you have failed to mention that consuming a shredded OS2008 printout mixed with tabasco sauce causes severe diarrhea in users.

My personal opinion is that unless you add these and other important facts to the article, your edits should be rejected for not completely reflecting the truth i.e. biased. But I am also sure you did not have in mind to be biased, so, please, continue working on the article, enriching it with these and other priceless factual tidbits.

I wish you success.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Well, after a night to cool down and thanks in no small part to Sr. brontide for his level-headedness my reason has returned to me and I've decided not to abandon the project and done some more edits today.

• Did a bit of cleanup on the NPOV stuff that was merged by brontide and fixed the references provided for that stuff.
• Improved the formating and consistency on the existing references.
• Fleshed out the OS200[58] subsections a little so they at least don't look completely stupid.
• Changed ITOS to OS per Quim's recommendation and fixed up consistency on that point a bit.
• Removed the software-stack table for the time being until it can be updated and simplified (any volunteers? :D Wikipedia's table formating is an epic PITA).

I've also added a stub for MicroB (if somebody wants to go through and make sure all mentions of MicroB or that Firefox/Gecko-based browser in the maemo-related articles point to the new article it would be much appreciated). There'll be more coming there later today.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Ok, I've made all plaintext Microb's link to MicroB wiki page in the Maemo page and I've added Microb in brackets to all Gecko references in n800 and n810. I plan on writing a extensions/plugin section in the Microb article. I did my edits on n800 so feel free to cleanup.

HTH

Edit, The Sword Project lists it is for maemo too, the other listed platforms have names of programs so I added Rapier in brackets for maemo. I'm a Muzza so I've never used rapier, can anyone confirm Rapier uses Sword? :)

Also, I don't seem to have upload permissions on wikipedia but maybe, if this is of any value, this screenshot is nice?

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Thanks! I went in and unified them with the text. No sense in parenthetically mentioning the name. :p

Also: me want plugin section NOA, qwerty12! :D

Did a little more MicroB cleanup and expansion. Quim popped up again to correct me (:D), so I integrated most of his recommended changes. Although I'm still not 100% how to rectify the naming issue (see the talk page). :\ The History, Architecture and Introduction sections have been created/expanded. I'll be adding more to the architecture section based on the the "Mozilla based browser for maemo" (:rolleyes:) whitepaper soon.

Did some more term unification on the rest of the articles. Still not all the way there, but closer.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

I have reintegrated the following sections with as much source material as I could find; Updating the OS, Security, and Future Releases. If people could try and flesh these out some more it would be appreciated. I will not stand for attacks on unix, native code, or mobile computing security in general as opposed to maemo specially.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Good stuff, brontide! Touched up and unified formating and term usage (I'm going to avoid using ITOS for the time being as it's unofficial and rather clunky). Expanded and clarified just a touch the future sections just a touch.

We still need somebody to flesh out the SDK section, though. :D

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Somebody added a company called "Imendio" under the developer line in the infobox. Personally, I've never heard of them before. According to the linked PDF, they've done a bit of development for the platform but should they really be included there? :\

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Well, according to their website, they claim to have written a large amount of it. If what they say is true it is reasonable for them to be there. I guess the only people who can say is people from inside nokia.
I hadn't heard of them.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

I suppose you could make that argument, but most developer infoboxes only contain a single developer, and that's the primary one (which is most certainly maemo/Nokia). See the GTK page, Debian page, Firefox page or many others. There are most certainly other developers who have contributed to these projects, but only the primary developer is listed.

Re: The maemo Wikipedia Improvement Project
 

Looked up Imendio and they may have been a contracted to work on some pieces, but to what extent is vague at best. Press releases back to 2005 and none of them are very specific.

Looks like the page is coming along. Still need a lot of meat in the SDK area, but otherwise it's refining nicely. Maybe GA made up this whole vandalism business to get us all worked up and working on the the page ;) :cool:
