If you are eager to help the Maemo community, there are numerous ways to help. One pretty easy way is to help in application testing. BUT READ THIS DISCLAIMER FIRST: Seriously: don't send users out of Extras without a big warning
Enable Maemo Extras Testing -repository
- On your N900 device, go into App Manager, top menu, "Repositories", and add the following repository:
| Name: Maemo Extras Testing |
| URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ |
| Distribution: fremantle |
| Sections: free non-free |
| Enabled: YES |
Name: Maemo Extras Testing URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ Distribution: fremantle Sections: free non-free Enabled: YES
- Do "Update", then "Download" and you will see way more packages than if you just use Extras. Install some you like.
Install software from Testing -repository
- Run installed packages. If package runs well, vote it up. If it crashes, vote it down and leave a comment. Voting and commenting happens here:
http://maemo.org/packages/repository/qa/fremantle_extras-testing/
Note: Each new version of the package has to be voted up separately!
