Some suggestions to improve the forums

I have some suggestions in regards to making the forums more viewable;
1- A moderator operated LOCKED topic sticky that links to the topics of new roms in the windows mobile 6 for "phone type" forum.
2- A moderator operated locked topic sticky that links to radio rom topics.
3- Standard to be added to any new rom post with the following items;
a- recommended ipl/spl
b- recommended radio rom
c- category of people rom is recommended for ; "power users, noobs, casual , business....etc"
4- a specific topic for each (or all) radio roms, with some kind of idea of what benefits they provide.
------
the reason i give these suggestions is that alot of the questions seem to be aimed exactly at these points , and my own personal experience of trying to find information seems to be a nightmare sometimes. (searching for accurate information on a radio rom is HELL) i do believe these can be applied to the forum in general.
edit: i've realized i accidently posted this in the wrong forum, please move to the appropriate one.

How about creating a sticky n00b guide?

Just got my hd2 today and looking through the boards im confused.
i understand theres new roms, loads of extensions and some critical apps but i dont know where to start.
Could someone please create a new thread thats just for n00bs, that gives an up to date guide for getting the best out of a factory fresh hd2?
im not talking about anything too specific, just the latest (or best.most stable/fastest) rom (and how to flash) and some general guidance as to the most popular apps to install off the bat (theres got to be some commonality there).
thanks guys!

there are at least three sticky guides to rom flashing on the rom development section, the hints and tips sticky in this section is also a first stop.
as to questions like"best rom"..that's a completely subjective question...everyone has their favorite.
course, if you wanna write a new guide no one will complain!

Does anyone have the Desire Z test ROM or engineering bootloader?

Edit: "Rom Development" is only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here. Moved thread to "General." Please refer to "[REF] STOP! Read before posting!" ~TheRomMistress
Hi all,
there are many ROMs posted for the Desire Z, but in contrast to the G2 we still don't have one with an engineering bootloader, which would be very handy now that we have root.
Does anyone have access to this and if so, could you please post it, so that we don't have to go into repartitioning or editing the binary G2 engineering bootloader
Thanks!

[Q] flummoxed

i have a san francisco 2 from orange. i used a method to root, unlock, debrand which basically left me with a phone which was unbranded and a new rom installed but unfortunetly unrooted and unlocked.
I need to get back to stock rom to start over, because it is unrooted CWM doesnt work, so i need an image which can be flashed from the sd card. I cant see any thread here for a stock rom image. If someone has one could you link me please.
cheers
