Maemo Select offers a selection of recommended software from both sources. It is not a repository on its own, just redirects users to each source.

We are still working on a gateway for community software to get their place in Ovi.

We wouldn't be surprised if commercial developers find interesting the maemo.org community QA process and ask for publishing their betas there.

Yes, it's still a bit confusing but we are working to get things clear by the N900 sales start. In the Summit Ovi support was announced to be ready before the end of the year.
Nice explanation.
I’m really glad to see that each day there are more and more apps available at the http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/
One recommendation please put images in the presentation and possibly bigger texts.
Other thing if we want that maemo be the future high end OS from nokia, it would be better that the developers should try to get some help from designers for better graphics. Much of this iphone buzz it’s just design. Everybody at maemo should concentrate on that. I think that nokia made an amazing work in terms of graphics for maemo, but it needs to be followed by the people that made the apps.
