[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] The application Catalog page

[From: Laurent Lieben]

Thanks Sven for all you did for the zaurus community.
The success of the zaurus was mainly because of the existence of your  
ZSI.

For sure, adding a Maemo section would be very interesting and if  
zaurus users like i used to be (maybe you know the infamous sukoshi  
kernel ;) ) switch to Nokia770, they will be familiar with the  
website :)
