If what I'm thinking doesn't match your thinking or isn't "useful" then convince me You can't be telling anyone who disagrees with your line of thinking that you are thinking in a not useful way...


Let me now elaborate on why I disagree with your proposal:

• We can list free apps into repo.maemo.org once Nokia hands control this month to the NFP if the BoD of the NFP think such a move is suitable
• Paid apps wouldn't be included obviously; currently they are via Nokia Store - How many of N9 users worldwide know about maemo.org? So you create an alternative paid-apps store something like Cydia are you going to get the same full userbase?
• If you manage to get ALL users would you get all developers? See the number of good apps on Nokia Store that are no longer maintained; you think all those devs will suddenly bother to list on a new "Community Store"?
• Look at appsformeego; even when it was working a huge number of free apps were not listed in it...Why?

Currently, you can download apps from the Nokia Store, from here on TMO, my-meego.com and n9-apps.com

The latter two are like an index of apps for the N9 while removing most RSS apps. Wouldn't it better to create a GUI for either n9-apps.com or my-meego.com since they are an index instead of doing something from scratch all over again?

n9-apps.com has Breeze which once set-up on your phone you can click install on your browser on your PC and if its a Store app, it opens Store for it otherwise the relevant file is downloaded for you to install...


Its always very easy to suggest to do something new; why not improve existing solutions? Why not make them more cohesive and work better with added functionality? Maybe a GUI for either of those two indexers can have top 10 apps, featured apps (free/paid) etc...
