It would be good to kknow the opinion of the developers of the most downloaded apps: http://maemo.org/downloads/downloads/Maemo5/25/

Would be OMWeather interested in showing up at http://store.ovi.com/search?q=weather

AlmostTI at http://store.ovi.com/search?q=calculator

FM Radio at http://store.ovi.com/search?q=radio

eCoach at http://store.ovi.com/search?q=outdoors

Countdown widget at http://store.ovi.com/search?q=countdown

etc

Maemo Select is useful to manage dozens of recommendation but what about the day when you have hundreds of OSS apps in maemo.org Downloads and hundreds in Ovi Store?
