I now have a maemo.org account BTW, and will try and garner enough brownie points to be able to vote in future.

My impression is that with Maemo.org, and the council, Nokia are trying to encourage user involvement, and feedback in a controlled manner that Nokia can cope with, and listening to any of your users, be they Developers, or Power Users, or Normal Users is a good thing, and should be encouraged.

What concerns me is that any rise in influence of the Maemo Community is likely to diminish the already miniscule influence of the users.

The migration of this user-centered site to the Maemo whatever may be the death knell to the tablets.

If I'm wrong, I'm happy. We'll see what happens.
The fact that this site is migrating is not true? That's great! The fact that this is a user-centered site is true, I guess.
The fact that the Maemo site is programmer-centered is not true? I think it is true. You say it is changing. I say, no fair taking credit for a change that has not happened.
For example, the Wiki that you have put together so helpfully, specifies that it is mainly for advanced users. Presumably there is another Wiki in the wings that will cure all such ills.
The POSSIBILITY that the planned changes may be the death knell to the tablets CANNOT be contradicted -- unless you have a crystal ball. No one knows the future, even me.

If it is true that Maemo is converting from a developer-centric website to an end-user one, then I think this page needs a serious rewrite. Specifically this line:

Writers specializing on end user topics are only accepted exceptionally: maemo.org is for developers and power users.

But it's true that Planet Maemo needs to be re-thought to address the new situation. This is worth a new thread for discussion.

Additionally, the name of the website is maemo, .org is a generic top level domain that indicates the maemo website is an organization.
Stop splitting hairs. It only makes one of us look like a fool, and it's not me.

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:47.
When nokia were developing the tablets, they took decisions such as not including a PIM, or word document reading functionality. Both features are present in S60 phones as default, and both features have been heavily critisised by users since.
My impression is that with Maemo.org, and the council, Nokia are trying to encourage user involvement, and feedback in a controlled manner that Nokia can cope with, and listening to any of your users, be they Developers, or Power Users, or Normal Users is a good thing, and should be encouraged.
What should happen is that people like you and I, who are active users and participants, should help steer and influence the council members.
I now have a maemo.org account BTW, and will try and garner enough brownie points to be able to vote in future.
