Hey,<br><br>thanks all for the productive discussion so far, as some know I'm more for the con-side, but I really want to have the CLI apps available in a easy away, so I think we can reach a intermediate solution here.<br>
<br>Based in your feedback, here are the best solutions in my opinion, let's try to reach a good solution that can make both sides happy:<br><br>1 - Modify the HAM code in order to add some kind of switcher for the CLI apps - Very good solution IMO, but very hard to accomplish in the short term.<br>
<br>2 - All Cli apps should use the same app icon - Seems good to me, the regular users will learn and the power users will be happy to have all these apps available.<br><br>3 - All CLI app should have a default sentence in his description, that clearly states that the app is only usable from the command line (no icon, no GUI) - Most of the users will not read the descriptions, but if they complain about it, is their fault because the notice is there :P . A similar sentence should be also used in the enablers (OGG support,..).<br>
<br><br>I think 2 & 3 is perfectly doable in the short term and perhaps can make both sides happy. Thoughts ?<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>-- <br>Valério Valério<br>Maemo Community Council Chair<br><br><a href="http://www.valeriovalerio.org">http://www.valeriovalerio.org</a><br>

one of the topics of the last community meeting about Extras QA was if command line applications should be available for regular users through the application manager or not. We can't reach a consensus, and it seems to generate very contradictory opinions inside our community. </blockquote>

...<div class="im"><br>Please share your opinion, we need to decide about this asap.<br></div></blockquote><div><br> I think that apps without GUI should definitely be available the same way as GUI apps.<br><br>However, there is no problem, to keep them somehow separated, e.g. with special switch in appmanager, in separate repository, or with special name (prefix), so average user understands, they are different from common (GUI) apps.<br>
