 The Google group should go on the community portal instead, since that's where irc is too. Or if you want it to be more prominent, on the main page, but at least not on the sidebar. We don't need to put everything on the sidebar and clutter it up. —[[user:X1011|X1011]] 03:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
-: In general you are correct, but the sidebar is where things go that are _important_ and the announcement list is important.
 The sidebar does not extend too far at this point.  Perhaps a set of smaller icons above the big boxes on the main page...  Announcements, Projects, etc.

		+	i think you may be misunderstanding me; i'm not proposing to merge the webOS and Linux portals; just to rename them.
		+
		+	as for the space: firstly, we don't necessarily have it; the sidebar currently extends beyond the bottom of the browser window for me. second, just because we have space doesn't mean we should use it up; keeping it uncluttered makes navigation easier.

		+
		+	I think there's a clear distinction between webOS / Mojo apps and things that run in a terminal - linux apps.
		+
		+	That blurs a little with the advent of terminal, but only a little.
		+
		+	I think that your proposed sidebar mod reduces the amount of information available, and makes navigation more troublesome. We have the space, why not use it?
