Hi,

your package is unlocked for promotion. Do you consider promoting it to Extras?
Maybe you have some thoughts on this brainstorm:
Many tested apps in Extras-testing are not promoted timely

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

Thank you for your reminding. We have done so many new version after that 0.5.0-1, so I do not even remember what it contains. And we are soon in version 1.0.

So should this version still be promoted?

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

Great to hear this is being worked on! Eagerly awaiting 1.0.

As for promotion to extras (if the opinion of an anonymous bozo off the internet is of any relevance), I think it's a close call between promotion of 0.5 and waiting for 1.0.

IMO 0.5 was clearly usable but also clearly not finished.

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

I definitely think so. Maybe you can get more users/testers that way?

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

Is it still only Finnish?
I wanted to test it with my kids in the past but the language barrier was a bit too much :)
But looking forward using it with at least English (French would be a plus ;))

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

Version on extras is only finnish (0.5.0).
So you must wait.

Version on extras-devel (0.6.8) has finnish+english+german. They are all bundled with same package (automatically installed) called *-fi, do not let it confuse you.

It uses (should use) same language which your device uses ($LANG).

This language affects only to mentor (bear). Language of songs is user-selectable on song selection menu.

Beware of extras-devel version, it uses too much resources and may not work fast enough to be playable at all! Volunteer to test devel-version with overclocked device? ("How much too much we are using/wasting processing power?")

I can't find even the Finnish version in the repos this evening, despite it appearing on the downloads list. It may be that I'm shortsighted or it is only visible to 3-6 year-olds... but has it been removed?

Even Finnsh bears are good with me!

Re: [Announce] JamMo - Music game for kids - for N900
 

I'm way past 3-6 years old and I can see and download/install it in app manager. It's there in the maemo.org catalogue (the artist formerly known as extras).

(Maybe the visibility is filtered by emotional maturity... I can not guarantee that I'd pass the 3-6 year old mark if that's the case.)

Good work on the English talking bear!

I've just finishing downloading Jammo Data and in total it's downloaded musically files of around 13Gb. Is this right?

My neice and nephew love it but I'll have to get rid of it soon as I don't have any space left in MyDocs as I partitioned it to 19Gb.
