[maemo2midgard] Ideas for the new site structure
Hi!

In the process of migrating the Maemo.org site to Midgard we started
considering some restructuring for the site as well.

Here's the current idea:

* Front page
- Short "Maemo - platform for ..." intro
- Latest news including title and abstract
- Latest Maemo release and updates to Application Catalog

* About
- More information about Maemo
- Screenshots
- Presentations, with download and possibly slide display using
the http://slideshare.net/ widget
- License and Links (static pages)
- Move FAQ and Roadmap to wiki
- Maybe version the About area like GNOME and Midgard do?
http://www.midgard-project.org/midgard/1.8/
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/

* Downloads
- Downloads for Maemo SDK and OS releases
- Info box about Sardine
- Info box about application catalog
- Source availability information
- Link to developer tools under Developers
- Acknowledgements

* Documentation
- the Wiki

* Community
- Getting Involved
- Mailing lists
- IRC
- Planet

* Developers
- Developer tools
- API docs (autogenerated using Doxygen and GTKdoc)
- Bunch of HOWTOs and Tutorials (linked to Wiki)
- Info box about Garage ("Host your Maemo app project")

* Applications
- Browsable database

Many of the areas like lists of tutorials could probably be autogenerated
from wiki pages using tagging (for example create page listing all wiki
pages tagged with "hildon-ui" as the "UI tutorials" section).

Comments appreciated :-)
