Hi Jukey!
Cheers,
Dave.

There is a maemowiki action group you can join (I also did now). But at the moment there seems to be no special communication infrastructure for this group. I would suggest to make a mailing list which everybody cab join who is willing to discuss the structure of the wiki. This could be handled by an new maemowiki-project in garage.maemo.org because it provides the possibility to create mailing lists.
We also use something similar for the testing squad.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave!
I would suggest to use
The best option would be to mark single posts as "wikify" but this seems to be impossible yet. I also don't know the exact requirements to tag a thread. It seems that I cant tag this thread for example...(UPDATE: It's possible to edit tags by reviewing a thread and not during creation or edit of a single post. I'll tag this thread as wikify as an example
There also should be the possibility to change or remove tags from threads/posts.
If we decide to use bugs.maemo.org there should be a new component in: https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi....org%20Website
This component could bee called 'wiki-content'.
What do you think?
Best regards, Uwe

Is there a way with thread flags to know what has been synthesised and what hasn't? I'm not familiar enough with the forum to know how easy it would be for me to get a list of all threads with a certain flag, for example.
I would suggest to use
- a tag "wikify" as marker for threads which contain useful stuff for (new) wiki pages.
- If there are existing wiki pages which could improved using content from a tmo-thread we should use a special category directly into the wiki

Hi amigadave,
I also began to set "wikify" as tag for threads containing information which should be placed into the wiki. To get the list all you have to do is to search for "wikify" as thread-tag in the advanced forum search: http://talk.maemo.org/search.php?searchid=7291205
Ciao jukey

I've just made another short wikipage about a workround for the limited repetitions available in the Calendar app. I've said it's an N900 problem as I don't know whether the problem and/or solution are applicable to older versions of Maemo, not having a device that runs them. Anyone who does, feel free to update...
