I understand that the upgrade to Diablo leaves a set of catalogue definitions in the Application Manager. Those definitions do not include all of the applications that were previously available on Chinook. Can I just examine a few strategies to consider?

Strict: Leave the catalogues untouched. They define the set of applications that are officially ported to Diablo. Over time, hopefully days and weeks, rather than months, all of most common applications (e.g. mplayer) will appear in the catalogues at which point one can be sure they are supported.

Cautious: Change the catalogues, or create new ones that include those applications previously released under Chinook. There is some risk here in that they might not work, but little risk that they would trash the device or interfere detrimentaly with Diablo applications. This could be a short term strategy until the equivalent Diablo version appears.

Expert: Make what ever changes you like and accept the consequences.

If I was to adopt the Strict strategy, how can I find out the roadmap for Diablo ports. Is there any web-page where I can see a schedule? Or do I just keep hitting refresh every day and hope they turn up?
