That's where a large part of your forum karma comes from, too, giving good support to users of your hacks and apps.

But you never pushed your installers into Extras or made a download page for any of your hacks over at maemo.org. I always thought that was too bad. Even a placeholder in Downloads that pointed the users back to tablethacker.com would have been great.

I think this non-participation in the "system" of maemo.org is the biggest reason why your karma isn't much higher.
I think its probably because of my aversion to the mailing lists

I have said before and I will say again, "hacks" should not be in extras. Only polished software IMO.

My point was not that my Karma was low. It was that if 4 years of my posts and thanks and blogs here gives me 437, then 1 app should not be able to get 300 karma points unless it has been supported for 4 years. IMO

1 hour of forum support = 1 hour development time = 1 hour wiki editing.

Is not GeneralAntilles just as important to this community as Gnuite? This is rhetorical......
