This has nothing to do with voting (because, frankly, voting was the easiest and most straight-forward thing I've done on maemo.org), but I do agree that the website can be frustrating.

The other day I tried adding an application to the downloads section...what a frustrating experience! First I tried uploading a screenshot, but it just was extremely unintuitive. After adding one, when I clicked save, it just wouldn't show up. I didn't notice I needed to hit the little up arrow to get it to go to the top then actually show up. I then tried inputting my name in the author field, but it searched as I typed so I would enter "Bre" but then it would present this huge list and I couldn't find my name anywhere. After inputting my whole name I tried clicking the search button manually, but it didn't work. I then erased everything and tried again, same result. Then finally, I typed quick enough to get "Bren" inputted before it auto searched, and I was able to find my name.

Whew.

Then I saved everything off, but I was redirected to an error page that said my application didn't exist. After pulling my hair out for another five minutes trying to figure out what was wrong, I noticed after saving it attempted to redirect me to /downloads/OS2007/ when my application was for OS2008. I then navigated to the correct page, and everything was OK.

Let's put it this way, I wouldn't want to do that again.
