Looking real good in IE7 dude! A quick check of links from the home page checks out. The only rendition issue I saw was that the Karma badge on the user profile page seemed cut off horizontally. Nice work BTW.

Well, *I* like it. The grey background is easier on the eyes, especially on 'em newfangled LCD screens, and the layout manages to feel less cramped and still use the screen width better, at the same time.

I'm not a fan of orange either, but readability is what counts, and it works better for me. Kudos to Tim & the team !

The site itself also feels snappier today, thought I dunno if it's related...

Actually there is not much orange... if you look where this color comes from.

Making the links (including the titles of the news) not-orange would make a big change. Worth trying?

The orange used in the header, graphics and backgrounds is appropriate and is well integrated, me thinks.

  • It's "Fremantle", not "Freemantle", and it will ship on the Maemo 5 lead device, not be released after that device.
  • maemo.org is the homepage for the community and community projects. It's not the homepage for Maemo the OS or the internal Nokia software development team.
  • The Council represents the community and is heavily involved in maemo.org. They don't manage Maemo. They don't even manage the community.
  • "Internet" is a proper noun, as is "Internet Tablet".
  • "maemo.org", though a proper noun, should be all lowercase.
  • Your quotation marks aren't coded properly.
  • Comic Sans?
Ok, all fixed. Let me know if I missed anything. And yes I know about the quoting thing. It's something weird with how my db handles quotes. Not sure how to fix it short of editing every article after it happens, whenever that might be. And sorry about the font. I simply specify that the css use sans-serif, so if you're not seeing that, I don't know what to say. ^_^;;

There's no such thing as the "Maemo project" nor is there a "Maemo Council".

The premis of your article is slightly flawed. maemo.org is the home of the Maemo Community now. Although it used to be the maemo project (lowercase m) homepage, there's no such thing as the maemo project anymore. Nokia properly took up the Maemo brand (see the new branding guidelines) last year to use to name both their software platform (Maemo) and the division within the company that works on it (Maemo Software).

They handed over maemo.org to us, the community, to use both as our trademark and legal entity (maemo.org) and as the homepage for our community.

Actually, it means a lot -- and many websites "in production" use it. It signifies that there are still issues and that minor bugs may still pop up. We are working towards removing the Beta signifier, but it is not that time yet. Give us a couple of weeks of testing and bug fixes (as well as time to style garage.maemo.org, wiki.maemo.org, etc.).

Thanks,
Tim

I just discovered http://wiki.maemo.org/ as registered user with the MonoBookMaemo2009 skin set in 'my preferences'. C'est chic!

If Google uses it, it doesn't mean that everyone should use it. Most websites are more or less under development all the time. (gmail is still "beta")

For general public it doesn't meant anything. My _personal_ opinion is that all beta tagged websites are lame.

If the problem is the 'beta' tag then we can consider today's launch a success.
