[maemo-developers] Features to improve the platform

[From: Allan Doyle]

I have put my needs/ideas into the Wiki at https://maemo.org/ 
community/wiki/serverbrowserappdevelopment.html

As an aside, the wiki seems a bit touchy under Safari3 or Firefox on  
Mac OS X. The page behaved as though it sometimes got confused about  
whether it was in edit mode, preview mode, or view mode, but I  
muddled through. Apologies to whoever seems to be getting email  
announcements after each save!
