So, they can't install and test Extras-Testing apps and vote for them. Result: "lack of software" for Maemo5 .
Do I detect a useful contribution the non-technical among us could make? Can we have a 'how do I get involved with testing? (and what to do if it crashes)' page in short words for bears of very little brain? Or is there one in the wiki and I haven't found it?
