Maybe you should write out what Q&A stands for. I read it as quality assurane, but inexperienced developers (part of the target audience) might not know about the abbreviation. Also it should be QA, since Q&A usually means questions & answers.
peace!

Thanks for setting these rules. I guess it's a bit late to make suggestions, but I wonder if using the word "terminal" would have been better than "command line" as the mandatory text in the description, to more helpfully guide users as to how to find the program.

So there's an icon to indicate which apps are paid apps?
That's not confusing. :/

after some discussion we finally have defined quality assurance(QA) rules for command line applications, these apps should address two extras checks in order to be promoted to Extras:
* The application uses the CLI icon[1] in the application manager.
* The application description clearly says that the application only runs from the command line.

Big thanks to Tim Samoff for his work in the CLI icon.
