Let's get to know the main assets of the Maemo and Moblin communities. The resources below refer to http://moblin.org and http://maemo.org even if other related community sites should also be taken into account e.g. http://www.moblinzone.com/ or http://www.mwkn.net/

Both communities have many corners and probably nobody knows all of them. Feel free editing this table if there is anything missing. Items sorted in no particular order.

Asset Maemo Moblin MeeGo considerations
Servers Recently moved to a new ISP, Nokia and community admins. Hosted by the Linux Foundation. Intel admins (?) Hosted by the Linux Foundation. Currently Intel admins only (?)
CMS Midgard controls static pages and many services - see below Drupal Drupal used to kick-off meego.com
Community apps - distribution Downloads allowing user rating and commenting (based on Midgard). QA community process including autobuilder, Extras-devel and Extras-testing, where community testers approve (or not) apps to Extras. Meet the Testing Squad. http://garage.moblin.org/ tbd http://meego.com/garage
Community apps - infra Garage, a GForge. There is a trend of projects using standard community infra instead e.g. http://gitorious.org please fill tbd http://meego.com/garage
Bug reporting Bugzilla, now open also to community projects. Meet the Bugsquad- Bugzilla Bugzilla is in its way
Feature requests Brainstorm, open recently and still consolidating. Before everything was handled in Bugzilla but a split was made since Bugzilla was considered too harsh for non-technical contributors that anyway could do a good job branstorming new features. please fill  ?
Community speakers Elected Maemo Community Council. Its primary purpose is to represent the views and opinions of the Maemo Community to Nokia, and vice versa. Moblin Steering Committee would be the closest? MeeGo brings a different model of community, not lead anymore by a single company. See its Governance model. There hasn't been any discussion about an elected body (it would have been pointless before the public launch).
User reputation Karma system recording all kinds of contributions to the project. Used to determine Council eligibility and voting rights. Also helpful in the selection of contributors sponsored to events, developer devices... please fill  ?
Wiki http://wiki.maemo.org based on MediaWiki. Garage projects and maemo.gitorious.org also have wikis but the guideline is to converge in the maemo.org wiki as much as possible. Meet the Maemowiki Action Group. please fill This wiki, also based on MediaWiki
Mailing lists Basically 3: community, developers and users. Many garage projects have their own lists and there is plenty of them. Basically 3: devel-English, devel-Portuguese and localization. Starting with MeeGo-dev.
IRC Several channels in freenode.net. #moblin at irc.freenode.net Starting with #meego at irc.freenode.net
