By the app look&feel of the apps seems Flash technology using Nokia's WRT, if so should be fairly easy to port in a near future

Ye I agree that pictures are very important. I could certainly help with downloading apps just to take screenshots and upload them. definitely a thing community members could upload, and the authors could reject certain screenshots they dont like

Yes, but it's not always as clear cut as it seems at first sight. For libraries and 'enablers' it might be difficult to come up with a meaningful screenshot. Occasionally it can get tricky with apps, too - people repeatedly ask for screenshots of the "Mirror" app which is, well, a mirror.

The mirror is made by you?

Yeah. They are in various stages of development, I used mirror to get to know the Fremantle release process better. Other projects of interest are Pyqtoreader, Shepherd, QTE, nursing the orphaned PyQt into Fremantle and probably good deal of projects I can't recall right now The screenshots are sadly outdated by several months/years, I'll update them when the up-to-date versions start landing in Fremantle repositories.

Congratulations, nice applications hope to see them finished for the N900 soon.

Looking at the page of maemo apps (growing almost hourly) two things strike me.

One is that it would be soooo handy if the list of categories down the side showed how many apps were in each category (to spare me clicking on emptty categories).

The other is that it might be nice to polite remind the clever app and widget creators to make sure that the description of what their app does needs to be JoePublic/TeddyBear friendly. Some are great... others leave me mystified.

Heh, empty categories are not expected after release

Leave a comment with that remark ! Seriously, this is a community effort and you can't expect the maintainers to follow all forums and lists - the best way to let them know about what you miss (or like !) is to comment on the product page (or the bugtracker).
