The wiki we should be using is here.

I thought those two were for different purposes? (the ITT one and the Maemo one). Presumably you mean to merge stuff over from ITT wiki to Category:Users? (BTW - the maemo wiki is a bit annoying with Firefox at least, because it keeps throwing up 'parts of this page is loaded over an insecure connection').

No, the itT wiki is deprecated. The useful content there should be migrated and the wiki allowed to die.

You know posts like this is why its hard to find usefil information on the itT forums since this topic has gone on and on about several other topics. I know Reggie doesn't have time to moderate every little post on this forum, but he needs a few people to split topics off if people are going to keep going on and on about stuff not on a topic. How can you ask someone to go search for something if you guys don't keep posts on topic.

OK, I'll copy over my own little contribution to ITT wiki to wiki.maemo.org soonish (although I still would like someone to fix that problem with mixed http/https content on the same page(s).. I'm not sure why it's even https in the first place actually)

Not to be contrary, but...
  1. The iTT wiki has nothing noting the depreciation
  2. wiki.maemo.org is still terribly unstable

No, it's usually quick to recover, but it often goes out.

Feel free to put one up. . . .

Server upgrades are imminent.

An incredible useful recommendation:

If I click "here" I get a security warning either on my PC or my N800. So far so good. Ok, now the page tells me there is an old wiki. Fine. But where to go for wiki lessons and answers ?
The layout of the page is -to be really nice- terrible. It reads "This page was last modified 08:26, 19 July 2008"

Next I click User documentation: (Security warning again) and I find 21 documentation pages. I rest my case.

Can we please keep the ITT Wiki ? The ITT wiki is useful for end-users: the Maemo Wiki is fine, but limited and aimed at a much more technical audience (or incrowd).

Just for the record: I appreciate the Maemo Community 's work very much. Without this work the N8X0 series can’t survive. And the products are Excellent ! I certainly do not want to complain about the Maemo Wiki Pages. I understand very well that if I want to use the Maemo pages I should invest more time and effort. If I can find this time I certainly will. But right now I am just a simple end-user.

Last but not Least. I did notice, General, that you are one of the most active contributors to the ITT and I do respect your contributions. Most of them are helpful, however sometimes very detailed and technical.

I would appreciate nonetheless that “Senior Experts” would limit themselves to their expertise. Answers like : “Go to Wiki”, or “Do a search”, or "This answer is wrong" don’t help the Maemo community or the ITT community. You can’t control end-users or Newbies!

May I suggest, General, you update Maemo Wiki first, or even better: harmonize both wiki’s, before you make such a reference ?

I can only hope that the ITT Wiki remains understandable for “dummies” like me ! It is now and I appreciate the content, even if it is not always up-to date (Neither is the Maemo Wiki)

It crossed my mind that the ITS should not be accessible for 'Senior Members'. Just joking of course, and I appreciate that most of the senior members do consider their audience !

Abel.
