Thanks, I appreciate the clarification.

Just curious.
c) be a reasonable human being.

Thanks

It's simply that your opinion of how well Nokia maintains their apps just gets in the way of the topic at hand and doesn't contribute anything useful towards it.

Interpret as you wish, but I deliberately discarded A and wrote my C for a specific reason. Different meaning.

Well, versioning can be disregarded - every project has maturity in its settings.

P.S. This is also a quote to wazd's post.

It just that it made my stomach turn a bit when I see a post from qgil (who I BELIEVE is a Nokia employee) starting a post about community developed applications and highlighting fluff like " but at the end are the dvelopers who carry with a lot of the hard work. Let's praise them!" - when at the same time they are unable to even keep their own developed applications updated - and/or come out with new ones.

Now...If Nokia would actually pay these developers (based on some Karma system) then I think that would be a fantastic idea and I'd cheer along.

So to me, it was apt.

It's helpful to separate roles. Assuming Quim as a Nokia employee is directly responsible for unfinished or unsupported official apps is disingenuous and counterproductive.

can we move on?

Well, I WAS going to send him a private message asking who/where I can send inquiries to about support for Nokia developed applications...but it turns out that I got this message:

qgil has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

A somewhat interesting choice by someone who in his profile says:

Hi! I work in the Maemo SW team advocating for open source. In practice this means I'm responsible of promoting peace, love and intelligence at maemo.org + all our relationships with free software projects and the community in general.

I guess that doesn't extend to private messages.
