i wouldn't even be afraid of bricking my device while testing. it's just that i don't know how to easily check for the most basic things like is it optified, does it uninstall cleanly, are there memory issues or does it drain battery.... i read the wiki page, but it seems to be written for developers, not for end users.

so it boils down to: i don't feel competent enough to give my opinion.

Benny, the thanks is for the first part of your post and not the last part.

Checking for optification is where there is also confusion with me. The installed "Memory" app reports the 2 gig space but does it report the rootfs space as well? How do we tell the difference? What command line tools are useful with all this? etc., etc., yabba, dabba, doo.

Doesn't help that the website is being ran on a 286.
I mean come on, this is unacceptable for a multibillion euro company.

This is comical: http://wiki.maemo.org/ISP_Move
"Agreement with the new ISP has been signed. Now we are waiting for them to get the hardware to the server room." This has been the status for the last 2 months.

Relativistic, this is annoying, but only a minor nuisance; you will need to invest time to test the application... hours, maybe days to be sure it does what it claims to do, that it doesn't start acting up after being shut down and restarted, etc ... only then you interact with maemo.org to vote thumbs up or down and give a comment. - That this last part is taking a minute longer than it should needn't prevent anyone from voting if he already has tested the application.

I totally agree - unfortunately fits into the overall behavior of Nokia regarding the N900/maemo...

The "Memory" app doesn't report the rootfs space at all. From the command-line you can run "df -h" to see the free space - the two rows you'll want to look at are "rootfs" (mounted on /) and "/dev/mmcblk0p2" (mounted on /home - /opt is a symlink to /home/opt).

It would be useful if this page allowed some sort of sorting or filtering or at least displaying all packages in testing so one could use ones browser's search to look for packages.

I've been trying to help use and test -testing packages but find the current maemo.org web response makes the process tedious (garage often seems to take forever to display).

It would be a lot easier, if I could create an account https://garage.maemo.org/account/register.php

Or gosh, I don't know, use one of my existing 2 Maemo.org accounts, and not create a 3rd (!) (Forum, bugtracker, extras)

Also, why do some of the applications I have already installed from extras also appear in extras-testing ? Very confusing.

Because they are updates for the old versions
