Talk:Maemo Platform

Infobox for the maemo project
Now that the Internet Tablet OS page is separated out, we need an infobox for this page. Looking at the Mozilla Foundation for a general template doesn't seem like a bad plan to me, but the non-profit infobox isn't really applicable here. Can somebody with a bit more knowledge of the maemo project's legal standing suggest the correct infobox template? GeneralAntilles (talk) 17:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Good plan! How about we just think of maemo as a standard subsidiary of a parent company (Nokia), and use whatever template that's appropriate? If better information regarding the exact form of the maemo entity turns up later, it'd be easy to copy the relevant information into a new infobox. InternetMeme (talk) 17:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Merging with Internet Tablet OS
No, we're not merging the two articles. We just recently split them (and for good reason), putting them back together would be both unproductive and misguided. —GeneralAntilles (talk) 16:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

New trademark and branding guidelines
Nokia is in the process of redefining Maemo, maemo.org, and the Maemo platform, discussion is ongoing on the maemo.org wiki. These changes entail a number of things: Changes are ongoing and all the details don't seem to be out yet, but it does clarify more than a few points about what Maemo is and the proper usage of the brand and trademark. Relevant to wikipedia, it will require some changes in the organization and structure of the Maemo articles (namely Maemo, Internet Tablet OS, Internet Tablet, Nokia 770, Nokia N800, Nokia N810, and some related articles like Hildon). —GeneralAntilles (talk) 16:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
