I can take the occasion oops, but this is an all the time issue. If I installed a dozen packages I could basically be guaranteed that one of them would upgrade, but be broken, or not upgrade.

Quality control: I don't care how much you clean up the interface if the packages flakey
UI: Why can't I just upgrade all packages that are available?
Right now maemo.org has how many packages that you would consider beta? 15-30 I would say. Noobs should be prevented, by default, from installing packages that have not been through QC.
Right now maps, FBreader, and OpenSSH will not upgrade through App Manager ( that's 40% of the 3rd party apps I have installed on this unit ).

Well, one argument would be that those who don't know how to apt-get upgrade should be aware of what they're upgrading so they can tell which bit of (pre)beta just hosed their system.
Hmmm... my calculator says you have 7.5 apps installed. I knew the situation was bad, but which packages are only half there?

At the moment, there are only a few community heroes that have uploaded a lot of quality packages. It would be nice if they would teach/help out new developers with their packages.

I can add paging for those categories.
How would we determine "Essentials"? Based on downloads and ratings?
Just click on the 'XXX applications' link on the downloads frontpage, this links to http://maemo.org/downloads/list/OS2008/all for example.
Clicking on 'Fresh' and 'Popular will give you a list of the top 25 items. (Paging would be a good idea to show more)

Oy. Mystery meat navigation at its finest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Meat_Navigation ). I had no idea that was a link, and I am excessively familiar with the web. Can I suggest something like this CSS:
a {border-bottom: 2px solid lightgrey}
Hope it helps.
EDIT: Of course, you can do other link rules for hover, visited, active etc. I'll leave that up to you. Thanks for pointing that out by the way, I really needed that.

True, but links with a subtle underlined in a different color are SUPER cool
