My question is why does this choice have to be made at the user level ? For developers, sure, but if downloading a calculator is "getting involved in the open source community way", that's a mighty big wall there.

If nobody sees a point in using Ovi for OSS community apps then fair enough and one problem less.
I don't see the point of marginalizing OSS community apps (being 'that other stuff'). If they aren't marginalized, why go to Ovi ? If they are, why bother with Extras ?


EDIT: Or, to put it another way (closer to what GA said), why do you think that applications in Extras are not for "everybody" ?
