[maemo-community] [maemo2midgard] Proposal for permissions structure & official docs in wiki

[From: Dave Neary]

Hi,

I agree with your recommendation. The fastest way will be to get HTML
pages off the docs team and wikify them. It'll be a boring day's work at
least, but anyway...

The Maemo architecture pages:
http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node6.html

They're now part of the Maemo release documentation.

Cheers,
Dave.
