[From: Quim Gil]

Although we have fixed already many things there is still many things,
true.

Two tracks that currently work:

- "SDK" in the homepage toolbar > "Maemo 2.2 'gregale'" link > "packages
for the SDK rootstrap" link > Accept EUSA > Download

- "Development" section > "SDK releases" link > "Maemo 2.2 'gregale'"

The search is broken. Critical bug pending:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302

About the Downloads section, you are right. A link should be provided
there: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1395

It is good practice to offer redirects at least from the most essential
old pages, indeed. Let's see what can we do, and when.

True. It is fixed now.

Now it has.

The tutorials are quite broke at the moment due to links changing with
the migration and code examples being not well digested by Midgard.
Known bugs, pending. The same problem occurs in many other pages and
instead of going one by one we are working on an automated revision and
a real solution for the problem.

The new structure is not even complete, as commented when the site was
launched. At the end you should find all what a developer needs under
Development.

Yes, of course. We can break things but we have a compromise to fix
whatever we break and improve whatever can be improved.

We are learning another lesson here. We are really sorry for the trouble
and we are doing our best making everything work asap.
