I was planning to beta test a little the new functionalities of meeTrainer before pushing out a rev 0.2, which would be also the revision i would like to use for the competition.
The other app is instead finished, so i could probably submit today, if that's preferred.
I was planning to do it by email. Is it better to use the webpage?

I've a vested interest in that rule being relaxed so I could submit grrok.

At the moment that app (and some others around, aren't "existing community apps" as no finished version exists but they were created after the competition was announced but before submissions were allowed.

In my case, I put an alpha version of Grrok on my website shortly before the competition started... but it should be appearing in the Ovi Store "any day now".

It's not really an update to an "existing app" but it's not been developed entirely in the competition timeframe (I was too keen and started after the competition was announced without realising there was going to be a start date in the future).

Which category should I put it in? New app or update?

I built a new release of MoGateway and submitted it for validation at Nokia Store.

Kojacker should have received my submission of MoGateway to the Network & Communications category.

Personally, I don't consider sharing a bit of code as the first release but when you have something functionally complete and built and are sharing that then really you pretty much have released software. I don't know a lot about your application, but from my own software development experience an alpha release is something I feel is complete and is going through testing in the view of releasing. In that case, there probably wouldn't be significant enough work done during the competition time frame.

Without knowing further details, I would suggest "Updates.." if there are some new functionality or features added since that alpha release. That's what we'd ask the forum users to judge on.

If I understood this wrong, I am sorry and will change my submitted apps to updates, even they did not exist yet at the time of the 2011 competition.

But I'm glad we can address this now though I'm afraid it is for applications released during the time frame of the competition, not for any released since last year's competition - sorry for any surprise and confusion

I'm lucky everyone is so honest
