Clarification on the criteria for distinguishing between categories would be very helpful; while the difference of "Born for Maemo" and "Very Nice Ports" is plain, the exact distinction of "Outstanding Utilities" is unclear. [[User:benson|benson]] 17:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Don't you think I have it clear myself. :) At the beginnign the intend was clear: a home applet doing a single task belongs to a different category than a full featured application. However, the line is definitely grey. Proposals for improvement are welcome! --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 22:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Alpha Applications == <br />
Beeing the developer of WeightJinni I was coaxed that it was named on this web page. However I was suprized that it was claimed to be alpha. I think it was initialy labeled "alpha" on downloads but since there was one person that used it every day over some months and found it stable and useable ( 5 Kg :-)) it was raised to "stable" a while ago. So was this labeled because of crashed or missing features? Please contact me! --[[User:framstag|framstag]] 06:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
: The "(still in alpha)" was written by the guy who listed your app. The [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/weightjinni/ Downloads page] says "not yet well tested beta" and "Stable Quality". "1 vote - 280 downloads" doesn't tell much also about the feedback level. So perhaps you need to clarify things a bit when promoting your app so your users get the picture right. :) fyi I haven't tested the app myself, nor I pretend to test all the apps proposed at this point. This needs to be a community effort as well at some point. Thanks for the interest! --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Not in Extras ==<br />
<br />
mYTube was in extras, don't know what happened. Maybe the developer can shed some light. [[User:bundyo|bundyo]] 07:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Not in Nokia's interest maybe? (Just speculating..)<br />
::Are you kidding? Asking the developer takes as much time as speculating in such a senseless way.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
::I think it's in Nokia interest, not at the contrary. The developer ask about her problem [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19798&highlight=mytube here], and I pointed her to the bugzilla, but it never happened. Probably, the package was automatically deleted because it was uploaded to a bad place in the repository. --[[User:yerga|yerga]] 21:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::Well, there is some legal uncertainty connected with those YouTube downloaders/viewers that might make it less desirable for a big company to promote such a program. With Mapper for example that's less of a concern as it has other uses than breaching Google map's TOS, but an application with a single purpose is harder to defend legally. However, the reasons in this particular case might as well be completely different of course, and I'm sure somebody will be able to tell us something about it.<br />
::::Mytube is now in diablo extras repository. --[[User:yerga|yerga]] 12:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::::Good to see. Keeping the eyes open and motivations in mind should be a good idea nevertheless- even just to keep expectations realistic.</div>91.64.63.214https://maemo.octonezd.me/index.php?title=Talk:Task:Remarkable_community_projects&diff=47057Talk:Task:Remarkable community projects2008-07-04T10:16:14Z<p>91.64.63.214: /* Not in Extras */</p>
