Ok, this might be not as good as a watch list, but still is a lot
better than checking for the entire RecentChanges page. :)

Is there any policy on the Maemo wiki for creating categories?

In a related question, what would be the best category to put the
PyMaemo wiki pages? Personally, I prefer the "Python" category because
then we could monitor everything related to Python in the wiki
(assuming the existing pages are added to the new category).

Or is it better to add a per-project (e.g. "PyMaemo") category? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi,

The policy is the same as the wikipedia policy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization

That is, "Categories should be useful for readers to find and navigate
sets of related articles."

In fact, wikipedia's policies and guidelines in general are decent:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines

I like "Python" it is more general, and doesn't require any existing
knowledge of Maemo.

For Mer, having a "Mer" category makes more sense.

Cheers,
Dave.

Since there was no more comments on this, I'll proceed to tagging
PyMaemo pages with the Python category (other non PyMaemo but still
Python related pages can be added later).

I created the Python category as a subcategory for Development:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Category:Python

I believe that will help Maemo newcomers (but already Python
developers) to quickly find information about Python development for
Maemo.
