Lets discuss this in separate thread, and after new year begins, as this
will be long discussion I suppose, OK?

Will you create AND *maintain* such a wiki page? If you think you have
enough time to maintain another wiki page then you are welcome to do
it :), but maybe you could dedicate this free time of yours to take care
of many old and outdated wiki pages that need fixing?

I think templates should be universal, not translated. This can be done,
but after new year, OK?

I do not understand, please explain.

I do not understand. But lets leave this history stuff for now.
 
> 4) On wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions
> In the Names of Distibutions you don't use number of version
And what is the question? Because i do not know if you think it is good
or bad?
	Anyway, I'll try to explain according to my knowledge. First of all
there is no section called "Names of Distributions" on this wiki page,
so please be precise. I guess you are talking about "Overview" section?
	If you are talking about "Hardware/Works" boxes in "Overview" section,
than I have to admit I didn't know that these templates are used
anywhere else besides "Community Updates". Now since I know that, it
changes my point of view. Those "Hardware/Works" boxes can't be used to
keep history anymore. But they fit nicely to reduce amount of work for
wiki editors (like us).
	What I do not like, is their naming schemes. Now their names suggests
that these boxes shows, what software can run under some distro.
Additionally you need to keep naming scheme consistent with other
templates (do not use spaces). IMHO it need to be changed to reflect
their purpose. Example:

Template:Works on Android -> Template:AndroidSupportedHardware
Template:Works_on_Debian  -> Template:DebianSupportedHardware
Template:Works on Gentoo  -> Template:GentooSupportedHardware
...
Do you mind if I ask you to rename these templates according to these
examples?
	In order to help you within this work, I will add these templates to
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Templates page, as they are not listed
there. Oops, I forgot to add Template:DistributonBox also, mea culpa.
	Does everyone agree for this solution?

> 5) News can use Distributions box and under him write changes

I assume you want to make separate Template:DistributonBox for each
distro? Lets discuss this in separate thread, and after new year begins,
as this will be long discussion I suppose, OK?

Indeed, ideas were useful. Thanks
