I suppose I could find out, but for that, see the start of this point.
and unreliable. as I said second ago: package needs 10 karma. one karma per one vote from people testing it. (should people who post raports here do the testing procedure too? it would bring the apps faster to extras). If package has for example 7 karma, one should find it 7 times more useful than one "review" here. because it means that 7 people think that the software is good. and those are probably valuated all the criteria so for example optification isn't a problem unlike could happend with these posts.....

bad metaphor, end of discussion.

yes, but that's why you should visit wiki too.

front page:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Main_Page

note the first title below power users. could it be "Help testing software"?
