It does make sense that maemo.or karma is measured against factors maemo.org can register. But if you have additional ideas please submit them in the Brainstorm proposal we are discussing.

Note that I'm not mentioning Garage at all. Host your code wherever you prefer.

We are talking about distribution channels. You have extras-devel, extras-testing and Extras for your software in unstable, testing or stable quality. If you need something else then file an enhancement request or an idea in the Brainstorm proposal that started this thread.

And we are talking about maemo.org/downloads that, true, if you are distributing "hackish" software you better don't use.

You can use bugs.maemo.org and that activity will bring you karma.

Yo can talk here about your software, bed thanks and get karma for it.

You can blog about your software and get thumbs up getting karma as well.

The system is probably not so bad when you have 377 karma http://maemo.org/profile/view/penguinbait/
