This interactive service complements resources provided by Forum Nokia and the existing community. Resources such as discussion boards, blogs, and wiki (including the KnowledgeBase) have been moved to the new community Web pages.

The Lobby is the main page integrating all of the developer community resources including the latest news, RSS feeds from other valuable information sources, videos, podcasts, and more.
