[maemo-community] Minutes of web design meeting, 13/1/2009

[From: Dave Neary]

Why the insistence on "Talk" (which anyone not currently on ITt won't
understand the meaning of) rather than "Forum" (which everyone and his
dog now knows the meaning of)? Is there some justofication I'm missing?

I'm sold on swapping Forum in for Documentation.

Cheers,
Dave.
