Basically they are where new apps that are being tested/under development are uploaded, so heed the warnings that are posted because you will probably do more harm than good by using these repos.....

But point well made, I'm pretty new to linux/maemo (decent windows user instead), but after about a month or so of reading about the subject on here and having a play with a new linux OS I've installed I think I could start to test. But I would definatly still advise people to stick to the extras if they are very new though.

And it took me a couple of weeks to realise it was 'fremantle' not 'freemantle' as the predictive typing kept suggesting.

Please see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=343619 .
For people interested in testing (turn your device into a brick, lose all your data, and have lots of fun while doing that) see http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing .

Suppose my question is could we organise testing on a user level basis? Or do you think all testing should be done by people in the know
Just as a side note, I would be up for testing for individual devs as well.
