The basic rule of community involvement: if you see a problem, don't wait for someone else to fix it.
I was hoping that I could get some feedback from those who decided not to vote in the election, on why that was.

Dave saw a problem. I opened this poll after reading his mail on the list.
Everything else in this thread is useless crap if you don't ask the same question Dave asked:
If, and only if, you ask yourself the same question, you got one answer here. Not the answer, as there may be many, maybe not even a correct answer. But it's information. You read it, then you know it. You needn't agree or even have any opinion about it. Just don't argue with people who answer the question you (maybe) asked. All they did was to answer it.
I understand it's emotionally difficult to follow this thread if you didn't ask this question in the first place so you're confronted with an answer without wanting to know... (that's why we learn to give feedback in real life only if the other person asks for it). Even more, being personally involved as a council member doesn't make it easier.
As I read it, there was nobody here saying you're not doing a good job as a council. Some of us say your PR could be better. You either don't talk enough about it, or you talk in the wrong places or use the wrong words or whatever...
But please: Dont mix this. Somebody saying "I don't know what you're doing" is not the same as "I don't think you're doing anything at all" or "You'r not doing a good job". Maybe this is how it's understood emotionally and what caused the ... well, chill here.
Out of frustration I have stuck with what works and wait patiently for new information to make its way to this "ghetto" as it has been called. I suppose this ghetto is my "comfort zone".
Since then I'm sure changes for the better have been made to maemo.org, et al however, because of the time I waisted initially trying to parse newbie info out of Maemo.org or even just connect, it will take some time before I feel comfortable interacting with it again.
I do understand that soon I will have no choice.

That little floating Midgard toolbar contains all of the answers.

If the answer isn't "It was intuitive" then I suspect whatever problems you had then, new users will have now.

Perhaps with regard to many things Maemo.org related some of you heavy users should pause and ask yourself... "Back in the day, when I first started using Maemo.org were all my moves intuitive; or did I ask another member or did I need to read a post many layers down in order to figure it out?"

Improvements to the council homepage are planned, and suggestions on what you'd like to see are welcome.

You know, I offered some constructive criticism, you don't like it don't use it. Seriously though, grow up.
To all my Maemo friends. I will no longer be monitoring any of my threads here on a regular basis. I am no longer supporting anything I did under maemo at maemo.org. If you need some help with something you can reach me at tablethacker.com or www.facebook.com/penguinbait. I have disabled my PM's here, and removed myself from Council email and Community mailing list. There has been some fun times, see you around.
