Definitely. I could contribute some stuff from my blog!

tamhanna, you can put your stuff in the DevNet wiki :-)

I don’t like the idea of creating too many categories.

Yes, there are things specific for Symbian and for Maemo / MeeGo, but ideally the quantity of specific stuff should decrease (e.g. code using avkon stuff must disappear!). The signing process for the most use cases nowadays is way simpler than it was in the past.

EDIT: This is just my opinion, I’d like to read yours ;)

I would love to!

Why? Given the sorry state of Mobility and Phonon, doing native is life essential in many cases.

Yes, but IMHO it’s a enough reason to create another forum category as I expect to be free of this “old Symbian native stuff” in a near future (yes, I’m trying to be optimist :-P)

Hi Ansel,
unfortunately, you are too optimistic IMHO.

Indeed, the last part of my post was very optimistic, as I said :-P.

Regarding the category, for me it would be equivalent to create a category for Qt on Linux, Qt on Mac, Qt on Windows and so on. Keeping the larger groups (Desktop, mobile, embedded) makes more sense for me, but maybe I’m wrong…

What about this:
Qt:
x Desktop
xx MacOS
xx Windows
x Mobile
xx Symbian
xx MeeGo

etc

Too fine grained in my opinion. We could handle the masses of posts till now…

Why? Isnt it better to be more finegrained than less finegrained?

Another factor which I did not think about yesterday was communality. Why do we have two seperate wikis fore essentially the same product?

There are loads of Qt entries at FN, and there are loads of them here.

Just a matter of taste. Not everything does have a rationale :-)

Coming from an user interface perspective, I cannot agree here. IMHO, many small ctaegories makes finding your stuff easier

Let’s do some user testing ;)

From a different UI perspective:
more options -> more user errors -> more mess -> users lost.
(hm… looks like the UI of a well known mobile OS….).

In the case of this forum, more mess -> more moves to put posts in the correct category.

The avkon stuff can disappear only when Qt becomes much more stronger and blends in to the system. Say one cannot apply any sort of themes to cba or status pane using Qt. So a full screen app looks better in Qt for Symbian now.
