Agreed. Personally, I'd say I put more weight on what's going on
maemo-developers and maemo-community than -users; but didn't subscribe
to -community until it was spawned from the ashes of
maemo2midgard-discuss.

I'm lurking on #maemo most of the time, but during UK working hours
it's harder to keep track of and usefully contribute when shepherding
cats^Wdevelopers at work.

I check the planet a number of times a day, and find that & IRC useful
to keep track of the edge cases of what's happening & what might be
coming up in future. I check the /news/ homepage at least once a day
and try to promote any items of interest which might otherwise fall
through the cracks.

I skim all new posts on ITT every day or so, but the signal-to-noise
ratio is dropping.

I used to track "Recent Changes" on the wiki, but am now just
subscribed to certain pages of interest and skim the bugjar reports
for any bugs I should be interested in.

HTH,

Andrew
