Oh piggz - you don't have to the end of September, you better get your skates on! Here's the timeline

I've seen what you can do so I have absolutely no doubts you'll get everything finished though and in plenty of time, we're only half way through - no rush

Hi gryllida, I know your question wasn't in response to me but I thought I'd chip in here

You haven't given much details, however please note that all applications have to be targeted at the Maemo/MeeGo platforms in some way. There has to be a relationship, when an application is natively coded that relationship is easy to see. With a web application you are stretching that a bit. So tell us, what does the web application do and specifically how is it targeted for the Maemo/MeeGo platforms? Does it provide functionality missing in the system through a web gateway? What is the benefit it brings?

I think what I'm saying is that a web application which happens to run on the Maemo browser isn't really enough for the competition. However something you have produced that specifically benefits the Maemo OS that uses the web browser may be something cool and useful we could include. I understand that's not a yes or no answer, but without details it's hard to give one - I hope it helps make things more clear anyway

To all - it appears we still have little interest in the Location & Navigation category, I've decided in my mind if it remains that way 2/3s into the competition (a couple of weeks time) that splitting games and joining media/graphics with location is the best way to go. I need your help with this, especially for the guys that don't want the category change, what ideas do you have to get more interest in this category? Is there anything more that I, as organiser, should be doing? Is there anything you can do to help us get more interest in this category?

Also I'm behind on replying to pm's - apologies, I'll try my best to get around them asap.
