Category Distinctions
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. benson 17:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- 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! --qgil 22:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Alpha Applications
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! --framstag 06:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- The "(still in alpha)" was written by the guy who listed your app. The 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! --qgil 09:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Not in Extras
mYTube was in extras, don't know what happened. Maybe the developer can shed some light. bundyo 07:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Not in Nokia's interest maybe? (Just speculating..)
- Are you kidding? Asking the developer takes as much time as speculating in such a senseless way.--qgil 19:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's in Nokia interest, not at the contrary. The developer ask about her problem 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. --yerga 21:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- 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.
