Exactly. I wonder what is holding it...

Unlikely, as the current number of required votes is somewhat of an overkill.

It was 65 and now it’s 64. This is the first time that the numbers decrease. What is the app they took?

Holidays ... and lack of resources

Come one, it should come down to changing one digit, shouldn't it?

Probably, I don't have access to the code and those that have aren't willing to dig it, since is not their code, they prefer to wait until the end of the month .

Just for kicks I made a small (yes, useless ) stat graph generator, so all you app count addicts can track progress... It's an experimental page so don't abuse/spread/rely on the url too much. I'm in no relation with Nokia or the maemo.org team, nor have access to official data sources, so take all numbers with a lump of salt. The bottom axis labeling is bogus, pay no attention to it.

Last month:


Yearly:


Devel is different in terms it show per day activity (e.g. a value of 20 means 20 apps have been uploaded successfully into extras-devel THAT DAY), as the simple total count is pretty meaningless.

I have not integrated all data sources, so diablo extras is not present and I'm not sure I can retroactively scavange Fremantle-extras stats before Nov 15, but I don't think it's all that important...

I'm thinking about adding new app notifications into a client-side application (so you get something like the blinking '!' for apps of a specified profile, say, when a new game appears, etc), but that would require either polling package lists (speed+cost problem) or sending a list of installed packages to the server (privacy problem).

EDIT: Yes, embarrasingly enough I actually forgot to include the urls in a human form:

http://app.cache.rs/repostat/line?stay=1 (monthly)
http://app.cache.rs/repostat/line?scale=y&stay=1 (yearly)

EDIT2: Yes, it's dynamic. Both the images and the links above reflect automatically updated data (=it's not a one-time stat).

The development of new app is a disappointment by any way we look at it. No ovi store and only 69 app after all this time. Well...

Please don't forget that complaining isn't the only thing you can do about this.
Even without programming skills you can help a lot of projects with testing, documentation, concepting, design, etc... or think of ideas for new apps that somebody will pick up and create.

Please take in mind that developing a app is not a thing to a few days/weeks, and these folks in the community are doing it for FREE, patience and more respect please.
As for the OVI store, I don't think that Nokia will release it only with 2 or 3 apps, so those 'disappointing' numbers can change in just one day .
