It appears that what I originally drafted for the sticky threads would be better suited as the descriptions that show up on the main page. So, here's what I came up with... Feedback welcome (I think everything under the "Software" category could be tightened up a bit)

Originally Posted by Main page
Talk
General -- Anything pertaining to all tablets, independent of OS version, or application.
Newbie -- Any questions that seem to be easy to solve, but that a beginner can not solve.
(Pre-purchase -- All questions regarding the device, while you don't actually own one yet.)
maemo.org -- All discussion related to content on maemo.org, including the wiki.maemo.org, talk.maemo.org, bugs.maemo.org, and garage.maemo.org
Off Topic -- Anything that isn't related to the Internet Tablets. An "other" of sorts.

Software
Applications -- Each application should have a thread in this forum. Please use the search function to look for an application's thread, before creating a new thread. If you are not the author of an application, but notice that an application does not have a thread, please make note of this when creating the thread.
Multimedia -- All media applications. Media can be defined as audio, video and pictures. Any application that pertains to audio, video, or pictures should have a thread in this forum. Again, if you do not find a thread for a multimedia application, create one noting that you are not the author.
Games -- All games for the tablets should have a thread here. The rules for this forum are the same as that of the Multimedia and Applications forums.

OS / Platform
Maemo 5 / Fremantle -- All discussion of the future release of the Maemo 5 platform, including the alpha/beta SDK (and possible hardware), should go here.
OS2008 / Maemo 4 / Chinook - Diablo -- All discussion of OS2008 for the N800 and N810, or OS2008HE for the Nokia 770 should go here. This forum pertains to OS software versions (version list).
OS 2006 / Maemo 2 / Mistral - Scirocco - Greagle -- All discussion of OS2006 for the Nokia 770 should go here. This forum pertains to software versions (version list here)
Developers -- All discussion of application development should go here. This includes general SDK questions, along with any questions pertaining to the development of an application for the maemo platform.
Alternatives -- All discussion of alternative operating systems for the internet tablets should go here. This includes Mer, Debian, Android, Palm (GarnetVM), and alternative window managers such as KDE.

Devices
Nokia N810 -- Any hardware-specific discussion/questions about the N810 should go here.
Nokia N800 -- Any hardware-specific discussion/questions about the N800 should go here.
Nokia 770 -- Any hardware-specific discussion/questions about the Nokia 770 should go here.
Accessories -- Any discussion of accessories, including bluetooth GPS, bluetooth keyboards, batteries, chargers, cables, etc. should go here.
Competitors -- Any discussion of potential internet tablet competitors should go here.
Buy & Sell -- This forum is reserved for setting up a sale of hardware between members of the Internet Tablet Talk/talk.maemo.org community.

Old
All -- This forum should be considered closed for archive purposes. No new posts should be made in this forum.
Any forum under the "Old" category would have the same description.
