Yes, it is unfair to compare a totally new developed application with something which is already in development for years. While voting the most people doesn't consider the difference.

But personally I wouldn't exclude a port of a application to a new target including a new UI. At example a port of a application from N900 to Nokia N9 (forced to add a new qml gui at example).

How many categories have we this time?

Perhaps we could make a seperate categorie for updated applications. A category for contributors which are "only making" updates to existing applications.

But I wouldn't exclude ports of applications which are not aviliable at the N9 from the "common" categories.

I found the MeeGo Tablet, Handset, x86 / ARM stuff very confusing because we had this in every category. And during the voting they were not seperated handled as in the beginning discussed.

We have currently no MeeGo Tablet confusion. But those apps are perhaps still important for some people in the maemo world.
What about adding a seperate category for Tablets which have official support for Qt. (Cordia, mer or the Blackberry Playbook)

Yes, archive is needed. Very important!
Simply deleting is in my opinion always not a good idea.

I would vote for exactly the same voting process as last time. This way nobody has to register especially for the voting at a different site, we know this time how it works and thanks to the needed higher karma we have a hopefully working weapon against unfair fake users.

The name MeeGo is simply outdated. In my opinion it would have been better for Nokia to say it is running maemo on the N9 instead of MeeGo-Harmattan to stop all the confusions.

Whereby I must say, the last one is waking up some kind of motivating Qt emotions...

So, now I need simply a good and well doable idea... (oh, and more time!)
