Yeah... and besides that, no specific tutorials for "maemo game programming"
are available. We have to try using the same techniques as we do at Desktop
games. This idea could be improved.

Hi, thanks for sharing these thoughts.

What is really interesting is the idea of raising and labeling core usages
(i.e. gaming) so developers and advanced users can focus and collaborate
around them: maemo for gaming, maemo for this, maemo for that. The result
could be beneficial to everybody, with more applications being developed,
more users knowing and using them and a more popular platform generating
more and better software.

The content of your recommendation is interesting but you can probably
point it to better directions. Tableteer is an official site while the sites
you are recommending are not. The difference might be tiny from a user
perspective (specially when unofficial sites look so good, work so well and
are so popular) but the story behind the scenes is totally different.

Should you then go and build an unofficial site for IT gamers à la
wiicade? Well, maybe this is a challenge for someone.

We have maemo.org. It's not unofficial, true, but it's community oriented
and developers can upload software without corporate intervention in
between. Developers upload, users download: this is the core functionality
needed and behind the scenes we are providing it.

>From a user point of view, though, the story of wiicade.org and maemo.orgis 
totally different. Agreed. We have here two questions that would help
finding the solution we want:

1. maemo is a development platform and the core focus of maemo.org is the
community of developers. Do we want it to be a primary resource for end
users as well? Yes or No, the answer leads to different paths.

2. If we want maemo.org to include also a specific story for end user
gamers (and end user travelers, musicians, sysadmins, scuba divers or
whatever) we will need to work on web architecture and layout. It's
feasible, but not easy.

These two questions already suggest that a determined independent
webmaster could get a site up & running while we discuss.  :) The discussion
is probably worth per se, though.
