One thing we need to work out is how to avoid it then being sucked into the rating process (mainly as it annoys me to receive loads of curt messages saying why have you not done this/that/the other and still expect to be promoted. Grrr!) as it's not finished, just being put in there for people to be able to access more easily.
GIven that we'd get more people testing it, I wouldn't mind at all to put it in extras-testing. It's just that I don't think it is ready for promotion yet, but we seem to agree there

So if we are able to do as you say, and get it there to be tested without having people promote it yet, that would be a good idea I guess we won't be able to completely avoid those comments about these and those features missing, but we could probably put a disclaimer out in the app description or something similar. After all, I guess people use extras-testing because they like giving reviews as well

By the way, what do you see necessary before we can call it a 1.0 final release? What I can think of is this:
- finish the QR-plugin with all the features we've set place for (vCards, .install links, etc.)
- do some testing with different UI layouts and see if we could make an overlayed semi-full screen scanning (semi as in "with titlebar")
- ability to save/open images
- a better result list layout, with an option for plugins to show results before being clicked (for instance lowest price) with a user option to disable this when roaming

I'm sure there is more too, but I can't think of anything right now.
