Some experience about testing apps in wxtras testing.
It takes at least for me quite a long time see if app is really working properly. I will not give app thumb up only for installing correctly and running. I see that there should be entry for app in bugzilla etc. It should also be possible to remove app without any problems and big files left behind. I have given few thumb ups only on few applications and filled some bugs for some of them. This all have taken already hours to do for few apps.
For example as simple application as password safe had some bugs and usability issues so I haven't yet given it thumb up but as it's working I'm bit hesitant to give it thumb down as some other testers might see it already good candidate for extras.
Many apps in the extras testing needs in my opinnion some love before they are ready for extras even if there are no any bugs on them. I would like that extras is for apps that are really good and not just quick ports.
