Thanks Kristian.

And many already know it, but I have to make it clear that 95% of my development and management background is Windows-based. I have never coded much less released a Linux app of any kind so my portions of any dialog along these lines is shaped by the comments/complaints of others. Given that, it's highly likely I've commited some errors of understanding that have gotten in the way of this topic.

What would help me is a basic process map of the suggested maemo development/release /install/support process. Does such a thing exist? If not, can one be worked up? I would gladly put it into Visio if I had a partner who could get me up to speed...

EDIT: thanks to Jaffa I found this-- http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras_reposit...ess_definition

It's a start!
