 ==Creating new templates==
 Using Template:ApplicationBox is great idea! Why not create similar templates for other parts of CU? The disadvantage of this way would be little more code to fill, but all entries in particular part of CU would have similar layout. Following this idea [[Template:DistributionBox]] is currently being developed. You can see preview on [[Community_Update_Draft]] in Distribution section.
-* Currently there is voting ongoing on [mailto:community@lists.openmoko.org community] mailing list. Come on in and vote for your favourite template, or leave comment here!

 ==Mailing list interface==
 Often there is a need to provide link pointing to discussion on a mailing list. Services providing web interface to mailing lists (like nabble.com) were [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-June/050363.html reported] many times to break discussion threads in mail clients. Remember, mailing lists were designed to be used with mail clients, not with web forums. If you need to provide link to discussion on mailinglist for those who are not subscribed, use mailing list archives.

 And last but not least...In fact it is pretty important: never copy/paste contents of CU to release the page! Instead always use "move" button on top of wiki page. This "button" is intended for this action and by using it you save all editions and contributions history.

 :There were always problems with links to the mailing list archive, because the posts these links are referring to seem to change frequently and these links become outdated. For example see the refereces section of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Openmoko&oldid=303210742 Wikipedia article on Openmoko]. References 9, 10 and 16 are now linking to completely different topics. That's why I think it is better to link to other archives which do not change the URLs. I think [http://openmoko.markmail.org/ Markmail] looks good. Can I change this guideline?--[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 15:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 ::The only practical way to find a certain topic on the Markmail archives is by using the search function, so the instructions would be: go to openmoko.markmail.org and enter the thread's title into the search bar.
