Hello,
I think the "problem" is known, but perhaps should be refreshed: there are many applications (new or upgrades) to be tested and evaluated in extras-testing so that they can be unlocked and used by all users.


Repository QA queue page 1

Repository QA queue page 2

Repository QA queue page 3

Repository QA queue page 4


Please, look at this wiki.

I counted 195 applications. The oldest is there since February 2010...

...People go, test and rate...

This whole testing method is totally flawed. There should be a way for people to rate it when they download it from the application manager.

To vote on a package you need to go to the page for the relevant package (links to packages can be found from the package QA list; see the first post of this thread). You also need to be logged in to maemo.org in order to submit your vote. For many application users this process might not be very clear, and one reason why many applications do not receive votes.

I wonder if maybe one solution to this problem would be for developers to add a link within their program to the package with a quick explanation on how to vote... perhaps this will remind people until someone fixes this broke system.

You are right. The trouble is, that it is not obvious how to vote. I have been to the relevant page for the application, but I still don't see where to vote.

You click either the 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down'. They are located above the list of existing votes, but you can only see them if you are logged in.

That's funny you answered because your's was one of the main apps I wanted to vote for. Cheers. I'll take another look.

Thanks, but cuteTube has already been voted into Extras.
