Let me say BIG THANK YOU to Jeremiah, Niels and whoever else has been involved in the development of the maemo.org packages interface - http://communitizer.blogspot.com/200...-packages.html

Now... let's have a look to the queue of apps that have been pushed from extras-devel to extras-testing:

http://maemo.org/packages/repository...ng_free_armel/

Zero! OK, makes sense. How do we get started, though?

People testing Maemo 5 inside Nokia are configuring extras-devel and trying out apps available there. However, the % of apps with dependency problems or other basic issues is relatively high. Enough to feel lazy about filing bugs at that stage.

So what about starting the process of developers pushing the packages that they think are ready to extras-testing? This will be more human testers (Nokia developers with units, SDK users...) concentrated in less but more solid applications.
