I was trying to find somewhere, anywhere, on the web site to send<br>
feedback. The closest thing I could find was joining this mailing<br>
list... seems sort of odd to have to join a mailing list in order to<br>
make a suggestion. If that's not what this list is for, please forward<br>
this message to the right people (and get them to put their contact info<br>
up on the web site somewhere reasonable... like a "website feedback" or<br>
"website suggestions" link that's in the footer common to ever page).<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking at other sites around the internet, I'm surprised there aren't<br>
at least _some_ RSS feed options on Maemo.org. The only two I could<br>
find are a feed brought over from Internet Tablet Talk, and then an<br>
feed for <a href="http://garage.maemo.org/news" target="_blank">garage.maemo.org/news</a> ... that isn't advertized on the<br>
<a href="http://garage.maemo.org/news" target="_blank">garage.maemo.org/news</a> page (I had to dig all over to find it). Here's<br>
feeds I'd like to see:</blockquote><div>You have to search better :) <br>All the maemo feeds are advertised in my browser, and there is a rss feed logo too on the top of the pages. I don't see any problem here.<br>

<br>
1) At least for <a href="http://maemo.org/news" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news</a>,</blockquote><div> <a href="http://maemo.org/news/items.xml">http://maemo.org/news/items.xml</a></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
2) definitely one for <a href="http://maemo.org/news/announcements" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/announcements</a>,</blockquote><div> <a href="http://maemo.org/news/announcements/rss.xml">http://maemo.org/news/announcements/rss.xml</a></div>

<br>
3) definitely one for <a href="http://maemo.org/news/events" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/events</a>,</blockquote><div><a href="http://maemo.org/news/events/rss.xml">http://maemo.org/news/events/rss.xml</a> <br>

<br>
4) definitely one for <a href="http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo</a>,</blockquote><div><a href="http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/rss.xml">http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/rss.xml</a> <br>

<br>
5) possibly for <a href="http://maemo.org/news/jobs" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/jobs</a>,</blockquote><div><a href="http://maemo.org/news/jobs/">http://maemo.org/news/jobs/</a> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
6) possibly a feed that combines 1-5, so that you can just have one big<br>
feed for them,</blockquote><div>Feed with the last items: <a href="http://maemo.org/news/latest.xml">http://maemo.org/news/latest.xml</a><br></div><div><br>Best regards,<br><br>-- <br>Valério Valério<br><br><a href="http://www.valeriovalerio.org">http://www.valeriovalerio.org</a> <br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
7) definitely for the user forum (<a href="http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/</a>),<br>
<br>
8) definitely for the developer forum<br>
(<a href="http://maemo.org/community/maemo-developers/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/community/maemo-developers/</a>),<br>
<br>
9) possibly for each mailing list (so you can read the list via RSS),<br>
<br>
10) having an option for each project to have its own RSS feed (so you<br>
can just see things related to that project, instead of looking at the<br>
general garage RSS feed),<br>
<br>
11) I've seen software download sites (like All About Symbian's software<br>
database) that have RSS feeds for new and updated software. I'd suggest<br>
the following RSS feeds from the <a href="http://maemo.org/Downloads" target="_blank">maemo.org/Downloads</a> for:<br>
<br>
* New packages for All Maemo versions<br>
* Updated packages for All Maemo versions<br>
* New packages for OS2008<br>
* Updated packages for OS2008<br>
* New packages for OS2007<br>
* Updated packages for OS2007<br>
* New packages for OS2006<br>
* Updated packages for OS2006<br>
<br>
<br>
Further, I would suggest that the actual pages in question have an "rss"<br>
link, with the logo, on the actual page (each webpage I've given a URL<br>
for above), so that you can easily utilize the RSS feed. For a good<br>
example, look at <a href="http://maemo.org/news/community/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/community/</a> ... but also add that<br>
RSS information to <a href="http://garage.mameo.org/news" target="_blank">http://garage.mameo.org/news</a> as that page gives you<br>
NO indication that it has an RSS feed available for it.<br>
<br>
If these feeds are already available, but are just hidden ... then WHY<br>
ARE THEY SO DIFFICULT TO FIND? Please fix this. Once again,<br>
<a href="http://maemo.org/news/community/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/news/community/</a> is a GREAT example of how it should<br>
have been done.<br>
