UQM is in Extras; it's on that page.

I'm sorry, but you're coming to a brand new phone/computer platform with an open source paradigm and acting like it's a well-established gaming console platform, and it is just wrong-headed. Early adopters of any platform are testers, whether it's admitted to them or not. Here, we fully admit it, and clearly mark what is and is not tested.

And because "testing" is not some thing that "just happens" as users break a newly released app, like it is on Android and iPhone, it requires users of Maemo to opt-in to testing for anything to happen, and gives those who chose not to the option to do so. So, execute your options by either waiting for others to take care of the problem for you, or become a tester or developer and help to resolve it yourself.

How many games did apple make for the iPhone? I ask that without knowing, but a suspicion that they didn't make many quality 3D games. And that's a closed platform which has been around for years from a company much better known for software than Nokia...

Prboom (Doom) and Gweled will be in Extras-Testing as soon as the promoter script finishes; go ahead and test them and help resolve this problem you have pointed out.
