The inclusion of the trademark guideline is sensible, but it's
disappointing that the first banner posted *still* violates the Maemo
trademark, and the licence we're granted to use it by Nokia. The
".org" is an important part of the trademark and logo, and the banner
below violates that:

On a more technical level:

  * Can the guideline include a part about appropriate file formats
    being used (i.e. JPEG for computer generated art is sub-optimal).

  * Can we get some consistency across the Midgard portion of the site?
    Certainly when the CSSU stabilises, having that banner on the front
    of maemo.org is going to be more important than buried on the Talk
    section.

Cheers,

Andrew
