Re: New Maemo.org coming Wednesday 22 April
 
Hopefully we can do something with the page "Community Council" as I am not sure what I am supposed to take from it. Where is the Wiki page info? It seems like this should be the front end to the Council, stick the blogging off to the side. Who is the council? what is the council?, this is your first chance to introduce yourselves and there is nothing there.

I just think NEW or OLD people coming to maemO.org will not take much from the current page. Which is the first place to find out about the community council. You end up with a bunch of blog posts. I think it chould be setup more like the IRC page with some real info about the council


When I click "Bugs and Features" Its just a blank page
http://maemo.org/community/bugs_and_features/

I can't really file a bug telling you "I dont know what maemo communtiy council is" and if should be clear as the first introduction to "Community Council" on MaEmo.oRg.

------------------------------

Seriously though, I love the new site's look. Now lets just work on the some of the usability issues.

Yes, addressing content is the plan. :)

Try forcing it to re-fetch? May be bad cache.

I'm not expert but I think this means a proxy in between is sending wrong headers (or the webserver itself?) Probably your ISP or local proxy? I remember some problems with proxy or reverse proxy at maemo, at the time.

'"maemo.org", though a proper noun, should be all lowercase.'

ManY newspaperS won'T leT yoU overthroW thE ruleS oF spellinG foR nO gooD reasoN.

Their style guides say to ignore attempts to grab attention by using freaky capitalization.

Proper nouns, after all, are capitalized for a reason, not because of the whim of some entity.

The point is to further differentiate it from the Maemo trademark.

Indeed, but then I wasn't writing advice to a New York Times columnist, I was offering a few points for consideration to a blogger. If Lord Raiden has a style guide for his site that directs him to write "maemo.org" as "Maemo.org", even just at the start of sentences, then bully for him. I have no problem with that. I was offering information, not looking for a fight.

At the same time, even the New York Times appears to have no problem disregarding proper capitalization of titles and body text when it comes to certain other trademarks. I blame e.e. cummings and bell hooks.
