From the experiences of Apple and Android, we can assume that, if we are successful, there will be many more application developers than platform developers. Similarly, their needs will be different, as they are more interested in using APIs than designing them. It could also be that they will not necessarily be interested in joining the Meego Community, and are more interested in being passive consumers of the technology. The audience will consist of both beginners who need simple, clear, tutorials/walkthroughs, and experienced developers more interested in code samples and reference documentations.
The goal of the developer.meego.com site is to present and market the Meego Application Developer offering. This consists of web-pages supporting the following:
Other suggestions are welcome.
The site has several elements that need to be combined in the design:
In order to measure the success of the site metrics need to be gathered. For example, number of SDK downloads, number of views of the Get Started video, etc.
The primary metric can be the number of applications on the community application repository, or a combination of the applications available from all the vendors of Meego devices.

These should be discussed in the forum.meego.com site, but are gathered here for now.
One idea is that all Meego products should be hosted, even if they contain APIs that are not part of the Meego Platform. The idea being is these APIs can serve as input to the future evolution of the platform.
... Comments please ...
Do we allow device/product manufacturers permission to display device launch information on the site? i.e., Could LG, Nokia, Intel or Asus have a banner/flash advert when they launch a Meego devices, and if so, for how long?
... Comments please ...
The issue is application developers will (hopefully) outnumber the platform developers. This could create a lot of noise in the forums not related to the generation of the Meego Platform.
Currently this is not planned, as the application developers can be integrated in the community eventually, and their feedback to the platform developers is desired.
