[M5+6] How to encouarge developers to create quality software for Maemo/MeeGo
We all know Maemo lacks some quality software [1]
Harmattan has even a much bigger problem. There is a lot of missing software out there. We have Nokia Store no more. Share your opinions how to make developers want to write from Fremantle/Harmattan. Use this https://etherpad.mozilla.org/hlqFjXHJV4 for adding new ideas and this thread for discussion As for me - the best option would be to community-found the development of crucial projects (such as up to date office suite or browser engine update). OpenRepos support for paid apps might be another solution, but rather for smaller projects. [1] http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...60#post1453560 |

Another thought - some sort of organized bounty system, administered by the community?

@Copernicus: there's a big problem here: the fees would have to be extremely big because PayPal is really greedy when it comes to their own fees. Or is there any better alternative for paying for the activation codes?
@klinglerware: Yeah, it's similar to what I thought about. And I'm all for this option, as it gives us FOSS and gives the developers their money. @rzr: you mean we should pay some software companies? |

Let's take a 1.00 [EUR] app. This becomes 0.38, so 38% So for cheap apps it's more than in the other stores |

(It seems to be a 5% plus 5 cents kind of deal (US cents), versus the standard lower-percentage + higher-fixed-price deal.) |
