Re: GNOME mobile on website



Hi Thilo,

We have a long-standing action to update the gnome.org/mobile page. Here
are some of the things I would like to see:

* The main text of the page needs to be rewritten to refocus the project
and give us a clearer identity
* A list of active participants (I can send this to people)
* Some stories of devices based on GNOME Mobile (human interest type
stuff) - I thought Vernier, Nokia, maybe Ubuntu Mobile might be good
choices - perhaps also the iRex eReader.
* Short descriptions of the libraries included in GNOME Mobile (a two or
three line summary of services provided & raison d'être)
* Project roadmap & achievements
* Links to some SDKs and downloadable VMs that people can play with
(Poky, Ubuntu Mobile, the Maemo SDK, ...)
* Ideally, links to some applications which target only GNOME Mobile
APIs would be nice.

I've listed these roughly in order of most urgent to least urgent.

Do you have some time to revise the text of the page this weekend, by
any chance? I'd be happy to review any suggestions & commit after the
weekend.

Cheers,
Dave.
