What a coincidence, me too.  ;)

Indeed. But knowing about the day to day of these busy guys I kind of
understand why things they write instantly in an email can't be easily
reproduced by themselves in a more formal way. 

But we do want to have all these pearls available in a structured way in
maemo.org. Easing web publishing is a step, partially covered now by the
Midgard CMS integration. Providing an appropriate content structure is a
next step (I'm responsible of). Having that doc manager in place will
definitely help, as well, as making sure that every relevant component
in our architecture is officially covered by someone of the team (still
working on this).

Until then we will keep getting busy developers really sensitive to
openness and dialog, finding some spare time to answer questions and
fill indirectly the gaps in our documentation.

... Said that, there is nothing stopping anyone from collecting these
pearls in the maemo.org wiki.  ;)
