Task:Downloads catalog improvements

Downloads catalog improvements:

The main purpose of this wiki page is to gather ideas about how to improve the downloads catalog at maemo.org.

Category reorg
We had long discussions about what Task:Package_categories packages categories to use. Implementation and introduction waits on bug #1805 Current downloads catalog still shows a semi-randomly picked list of categories. It should be reorganized to use the official list of categories agreed by the community.

Implications:
 * New categories need to be configured.
 * All applications in non-standard categories need to be moved to new categories.
 * Redirect urls need to be configured for category listings

OS200X vs Maemo X.X
In the past Nokia referred to OS releases as OS2005, OS2006, Os2007 and OS2009. The use of OS200X has been deprecated. OS releases are now called Maemo 4.1 for example.

The catalog is currently organized by OS version. This should be changed to Maemo versions.

Implications:
 * new icons for OS releases
 * urls need to change as OS version is used.
 * redirection needs to be configured for old urls.
 * downloads statistics need to be updated for new names

Automatically create entries in downloads catalog when package in Extras has user/* section
At the moment not all applications which are available in Extras are listed in the downloads catalog. A script could gather basic information for all user applications in Extras and create entries in the catalog. These entries can later be updated by users to give more details about the application.

Add Application Manager install failures feedback to downloads
There is a plan to integrate install status feedback to the Application Manager. The downloads catalog could use the statistics to display the quality of the package.
