I find it humorous that you are all talking about editing the wiki, instead of just doing it.

I agree on the fact that some polishing has to be done. But in general I think the wiki is not the first page you go to as a new user without any information about maemo and that it should just provide deeper information about certain topics regarding community, users and developer. Perhaps a category like newbie might be useful as with the new device, new types of user come into place. I guess the normal average user might think more about development, by reading information about "how to become root".
In general I am afraid, that we just duplicate content with those pages. IMHO that is one of the problems of the wiki we have to solve. The Maemo Basic page is on the one hand quite ok, but I see there information which can be found in so many places (Forum Nokia, maemo.nokia.com, about page in the wiki, main page of maemo.org, etc.). I think that it would be better to choose one of this links (like maemo.nokia.com) and put it on the main page as it provides the information about maemo itself and the device in a pretty good way. The information in the wiki is really important and a good source, but IMHO just when you go one step further, than the information, which is for example mentioned in maemo.nokia.com. And I don't think that this is a bad thing.
So my suggestion would be to be aware of not duplicating too much information, which makes updates harder, and which might lead at the end into wrong information. IMHO it would be nicer to bundle that in the places, which already exist, link them and try to concentrate in the wiki on concrete information, which might be interesting for different target groups like it is now and perhaps add a newbie category. This should then for example not explain that there is an application, but more about specific problems/solutions.
