I think one of the most important aspects of the OSS community is that it provides support for the community *and the hardware it uses*. I can compile a kernel for a 386 with some very old hardware (hell, only a couple of years back I managed to read my Amstrad 2086 XT 20 Mb harddisk on a modernish linux box with an AT slot); I can run OE on my SL5500; Speaking as someone who would be next in line up against the wall with a practically obsolete N800, I don't think the 770 should be 'archived' by maemo.org, (even if Nokia decide to do so as it appears to have done with Chinook and Diablo - correct me if I misunderstand). Oh, and I think Nokia 'abandoning' the 770 is one of the *key* reasons to aim for a fully open OS on the NIT. > Perhaps the newest stuff should be first but footnote or archived page > is going too far IMO. > > Can we tag pages or sections with OS/device names? Yes, the 'Category' capability of the wiki allows you to do this - very useful.
