Something like "people love project xyz, so we encourage you to make it ready for prime time".
Isn't https://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Remarkab...unity_projects accomplishing what you just said?

- Applications without proper install file are listed there, only not on the top. There are good reasons not to recommend application without working install file to average users.

- Same with being in maemo.org extras.

- Listing the interesting projects there no matter what pointing what is missing for prime time helps getting people involved, especially if we all agree the page is useful and needs awareness.

- "Hildonized" is not a requrement at all in that page. Finger/thumb ready UI and "decent design" are the factors, and they are by no means tied to Hildon only.

- "people love project xyz, so we encourage you to make it ready for prime time" - The current text says "Getting a list of these projects would help to * Improve their quality and promote them as ready to primetime. " Close enough, but it's an open wiki page and anybody can improve the current writing, including yourself.

I still fail to see why you see this page as your enemy and not your friend.
