Great job ! Just wondering, how stable is the REST API in the download assistant (e.g. can it be used in other projects without fear of breakage) ?

Extra-repos is crap. I prefer a program that let me see what's in Extras-Test and Extras-Devel....they have more interesting apps.

Hi,
the first version of the appdownloader, a download-assistant for applications in extras, is now available in extras-devel. Everybody who want to have a first look can try it out.
Find the details in my blog-post.
And here a screenshot:

I'm just curious and can't try because I'm without my N900 ATM:
If I understand this correctly, the application communicates with downlaods.maemo.org and not directly with the repository, right?
Doesn't this mean that a user will always see only the english language description of a package? Or is there a mechanism that would pull in translated package descriptions?

(NOTE: Please be aware that this is just a first preview. If you want to avoid the activation of the extras-devel repository, please wait a bit until the software is stable enough and available in extras-testing)
