What use is having more new/updates in extras if there not tested, your turning everybody into a beta tester.

Not saying it's a good thing not having QA for extras. I just don't believe anymore that this community is able to keep the QA process running. It just don't make sense imo to keep a unused process in use.

The 46 pages long qa queue @ http://maemo.org/packages/repository...xtras-testing/ tells the whole story.

This is including "non-application" packages, more importantly how many have no maintainer. I think this is the reason most are still there.

What's the difference between votes and testers?

Does a 'vote' mean that somebody has gone through the testing process and we 'trust' them?

Why does an app need 6 votes? Why can't we have just 2 'trusted testers'? These are folks who are members of the community.

Testers (with a maemo.org garage account) test packages and vote on them using the following:-

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist

Votes can be positive or negative depending on if they pass all criteria.

The more different devices/people used for testing the better as different set-ups may find different bugs.

Quick list of application/updates worth QA testing if you have time.
After all this thread has put two deserving apps in extras, why not suggest some alternatives - seen as you never got to test speedcrunch.

OK, I'll consider testing a couple of those to be my payment for the time you and others spent testing my app.

@Ken-Young, one reason why people have possibly avoided your app is due to no icon in HAM.
I very often skip over looking at applications with no icon.

Your control file is missing:-
