IMO smart way of pushing it through

Call this odd if you want, but what is really odd is that my app was requiring tester and vote since a long time ago, that the web package interface is full of bugs and that it s the only smart way to got test and votes and more for non free apps.

Maybe you could have offered a free licence to the first X people who tested your app properly (e.g. adding comments about what works/doesn't work), regardless of whether they voted it up or down.

If there are blocking issues, could you let me know the bug numbers and I'll get them chased up.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

I wish to thank Khertan for showing the true value of the extras-testing voting system.

Yawn. What do you propose? If something better, let's consider it; if it's "no QA" the evidence of the number of applications which have had problems which should be fixed is pretty compelling (although I don't have them to hand); if it's "dunno, haven't got anything better" you're not adding value :-)

I think we should (finally) admit that 10 votes is too much and reduce number of required votes. I would say 5 is enough. It's arbitrary number but 10 voters was chosen on same basis.

Change wouldn't fix any fundamental flaws in the system but it would reduce a lot of hair pulling. I don't think 5 votes would reduce quality of passing packages because blockers are catched before 5 votes is reached and 10 days quarantine would still be there.
