Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

Fair comment. I'm waiting till I actually have a device. But one or two fo the apps left me wondering what they do. I just kind of assumed "that's a technical thing so not for me" but an explanation would help. I might get technical one day!

Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

Well, ideally, when you click on the app, it should show you the explanation of what the app does at the top of the page, like here:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...peccy/1.6.8-1/

Some people are not providing this information in their packages though. They should. In fact, I am sure that anyone actually planning to promote his package into Extras will.

Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

Is "good description" part of the Extras QA process? I think it should be, and there should probably be guidelines about how long it should be, who it should be aimed at, etc.

Two days without new app. What’s happening?
Well, I guess that everyone is at the “N900 shipping delayed”…

Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

You should only blame people who have got their free N900s at the Summit but are not voting for Extras-Testing apps. If you have got an N900 and are not voting, blame yourself.

Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

I wish that I could blame myself. Unfortunately I can’t.

Re: 26 app for downloading @ maemo5
 

Have N900. Was happily testing apps, filing bugs, and voting. Have stopped. So, blame me.

It's been made clear several times in several different discussions on promotion and testing that unless a person is fully testing apps, he or she is hurting the testing effort. I don't have the time or inclination to, for instance, find out where every file in a package has hidden itself away in the file system of my device, so I've eliminated myself from the testing pool.

Should qgil's suggestion of permitting voting on individual promotion criteria be implemented, I will joyfully set about testing once again, but until then, since I can't do it right, I won't do it at all.
