This FAQ has multiple issues. It's not written in proper sentences, looks a bit like copy paste mistakes. It should be either fixed or deleted. I wonder how /frequently/ this question has really been asked?!

Is it possible to setup Linuxbrew and install formulae?
Linuxbrew will provide more information.
Features Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo Install software not packaged by the native distribution Install up-to-date versions of software when the native distribution is old Use the same package manager to manage both your Mac and GNU/Linux machines
Since there's no way of filtering duplicates after the clients IP address has changed, only devices that requested an update within the last 48 hours should be considered active.

There should be a graph to show changes in device numbers. Also, inactive devices should no longer be counted.

From https://forums.ubports.com/topic/311/mailing-list:
while reading it, i saw the section about Patreon, so at the end of the paragraph i saw "Learn more at patreon.com/ubports", so i was interested to learn what patreon is or do, so i have clicked on the link and a 404 page had opened https://ubports.com/patreon.com/ubports.
Currently I have to scroll very far to the end of the page, and spot the language selector, this might not be the best solution for non-English speakers.
In https://ubports.com/fr_FR/telegram-welcome the link for Arabic point to https://t.me/UPorts_Arabic. This URL is wrong.
The Good one is https://t.me/UBports_Arabic

It does not work without production in the config in debug mode

The images on https://ubports.com/page/ubuntu-fairphone-2 are 8 Mb big. you might want to scale them down.
https://ubports.com/page/fs-flash-phone instructions mentions:
- Reboot your device into fastboot mode and Connect your device with an USB cable to your computer.
It would be nice to have instruction how to boot into fastboot.
From @NeoTheThird on May 18, 2017 19:19
Some devices break the standards to boot to recovery or boot-loader. The installer should be able to give more complex instructions, like holding down both volume buttons. It might also be useful to be able to display custom messages.

it's currently a mess when it's possible to build a cathedral:
By systematically using the list of ISO 639-1 codes
By systematically using UBports label and not once UBports and once UBPorts
On https://ubports.com/page/frequently-asked-questions in the Android answer, the link has an excess ) at the end.
"Donate
Our Sponsors
Donate with Paypal
Donate with Bitcoin
Become a Patreon! "
Patreon use the terms "Become a Patron" not "Become a Patreon"
So it could be:
Or it could be
Solution 1. is more coherent.
The same wrong use of the word Patreon is spread on many other places and other web sites, docs.ubports.com, ...
"Donate with Bitcoin" link on the bottom of the ubports.com page does not work. Clicking does not produce any effect.

All the links to comments on http://ubuntu-touch.io/blog are broken. E.g. the link is http://ubuntu-touch.io/blogpost/purism-ubports-126#comments , but the post is at http://ubuntu-touch.io/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/purism-ubports-126
Hello,
I think it would be nice to have a direct link to the Open Store.
The link could be placed next to "devices" and below, under the three links (Upgrade your phone now !, Contribute and Donate).
It seems logical to promote an operating system and its ecosystem of apps
However, there IS at least one obvious hit:

Hi,
Since the ubports website has been redesigned, the RSS feed of the new blog (using odoo, not the devblog) produces broken dates: it seems that every time a new post is written, a certain amount of preceding posts are re-syndicated all with the same date (year month day), but with variations in timestamps.
This is visible by browsing the RSS feed link. Obviously UBports Newsletter 2 and UBports Newsletter 3 had not been written both at the same date (now seen as July 28). The XML file produced for the feed does not contain creation dates but dates of update (of the whole blog?).
Best regards,
Christian
The site should be removed and redirected to the fairphone page on ubports.com. The old site is just causing confusion.
Only the following channels should be displayed on stats.ubports.com:
The old blog can still be reached. It should be taken down and redirected to ubports.com/blog.

Hi guys,
This web page shows the videos of previous QA sessions. The problem is, they can not be seen: "Watch this video on Youtube: Playing on other websites has been disabled by the video owner."

The images of the colors should probably be displayed below their descriptions when viewed with a mobile device.
Since the CPT is no longer developed, its mentions should be replaced by the UBports installer.
UBports moved to Framapiaf (https://framapiaf.org/@Ubports) but website ever still link to mastodon.rocks.

Some files still end on *.jade. Can they safely be renamed to *.pug?

Current Bitcoin address (1DpvghKwhrwZyyCyWMQ2tnLaV3yEznFndB) is the legacy one.
It would be nice to have additional native SegWit bc1... address [0].
Using this new type of address would reduce transaction fee and conserve blockchain capacity. Legacy address obviously should left there too, as not all wallets support SegWit yet.

From original issue, by @3rdwiki:
We need the "Active Devices", "Inprogress Devices", and "Voting Devices"
as 'Headers' so that we can say do the WebLink:
(and the link goes to that 'section' of the devices.ubports.com/#/ web-page).

In the forum if I move in the forum (to eg. https://forums.ubports.com/category/43/ut-for-raspberry-pi) and then I login it adds to my previous location URL the https://forums.ubports.com/ string (in my example the new url would be https://forums.ubports.com/https://forums.ubports.com/category/43/ut-for-raspberry-pi) resulting in a "Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page." error
Browser: Firefox 70.0.1 (64bit)
Mozzilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical -1.0
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
On: https://ubports.com/get-involved
The part with "Learn more at patreon.com/ubports." is incorrectly linked and thus goes to https://ubports.com/patreon.com/ubports , which yields an error page.
Looking at the blog mainpage ......
I noticed that there was no browser icon - image here - that loads to declare the ubports logo.
Seems quite amateurish at present.

If stats.ubports.com had an API, the number of active devices could be displayed on the detail page.

The Digital Ocean logo on the bottom of the page looks a little distorted, see screen-shot.

If you want to return to the homepage from the forums, you have manually edit the URL. Putting the primary navigation from ubports.com above the toolbar on forums.ubports.com would greatly improve accessibility!

I think we can hide the ID column for normal users. Looks distracting and like some kind of ranking, people could be unsure if this is important info or not...

This footer statement says nothing which is of use:
And it got a typo inside. Either we find smth better, or we remove it.
I assume the link under "testing and quality assurance" should link to the wiki article.
On the "Get Involved" page, there is currently only two items for the "Project Contributions": "Testing and Quality Assurance" and "Code".
Would it be possible to add a third one for translations? Below is a proposal:
Translations
Your coding skills are very limited but you are comfortable with English and one or multiple foreign languages? You can still contribute by filling our user-friendly translation platform to port Ubuntu Touch to your native language.

There should be a picture of the device running Ubuntu Touch in the sidebar above the "What's working" widget.

Hi there,
So everytime I logon to forums.ubports.com/ I see this notification display ,
the only problem is that it doesn't actually notify me of anything.
It says it has 5 notifications.
But of what (?) I haven't a clue !
The devices page should be merged with ubports.com. To achieve that, we need to implement the API that's needed for the installer in Odoo.
Is it possible for the ubports.com website to be displayed in Polish?
All texts from the site https://translate.ubports.com/projects/ubports-website/ubports-com/pl/ are translated.

There should be a prominent link to https://blog.ubports.com/ on the landing page. Currently, it's really hard to tell if the project is still alive, because there's no new information anywhere but the blog and the blog is a well kept secret.
Keep up the good work btw, this came out more critical than it was meant. I just think the PR on UBports needs to be a little ...more.
The logo doesn't load on : forums.ubports.com & it is really annoying.
Here is what I view.
