There are not several hundred applications in line. Several hundred implied >300. Waiting to be promoted are exactly 221 packets. Many of them themes, which cannot be thought of as applications, so real number perhaps somewhere between 150 and 175.
I've voted on some things, but this system is not as user friendly as it could be.
EDIT:
@Smoku: Though I'm not sure I follow the app name issue. HAM shows you the 'maemo name', just as the QA queue.

Then, n900 is "step 4 of 6", right?
Pointing this because if anyone is "doing his research" right now, he could be blamed here in a few months when asking for Nokia support...

But the next device will not be a 5/5 into consumer friendly world but a dead end in a development context. Then it seems they are going to reset the count at 1 with the first "real" Meego device after that.
I think that "real" consumer Meego device should be nicknamed Godot, somehow that name seems very fitting to me.

Do you really need more feedback?
How often do you read talk.maemo.org then?
This was covered lots of times. And you know it. And, sorry, the system don't work, so it's a crap.
And if the system is broken, being as constructive as possible to find a solution is often better than saying that "it's crap". This is what I'm trying to do. But apparently this was the wrong thing to do...
So, I'm not trying to defend the promotion system.
Don't be a covard... trying to attack me because you are afraid of Smoku boy.
I'm not attacking you. At all. I'm asking questions to understand and letting you explain what you think about the promotion system. That's not an attack.
And, please, I'm not afraid of smoku, or you. I have no feelings at all about anyone of you. You're just people on the forum, like me, and I'm neutral in my views.

I see. So if someone comes up with an application that works with the current voting system, things would be much better?
Did the number of votes on the OS2008 system increase by some magnitude compared to the Maemo5 solution with this voting application?

The impending (Symbian 3) N8 will require apps built with Qt. I thought the point of Qt on N900 was to allow Qt apps from Symbian 3 and 4 to be easily ported over to Maemo (?)
That's only going to happen if there's an incentive for developers and the process is is easy & straightforward, surely?
Can some of our developers comment on this?

If such an application would solve a lot of the problems with promotion of packages to Extras, I see no reason to not start working on it.

Why should for example the Polish Psiloc company rewrite their Symbian apps in Qt?

Thanks atilla77 & olighak.
what the is the reason for Qt in Maemo 5? Is it to help/ encourage developers build new apps for Meego?
If that's the case, would this not require hardware compatability (similarity) between N900 and the first Meego device?
