Maybe wiki is just not very suitable for keeping the list of
available applications? As this page grows, it gets harder to maintain.
Just imagine a full list of sourceforge projects on a single wiki page
for example :) It is an exaggeration, but I still hope that the list of
maemo compatible applications will eventually grow to the number that
this wiki will be unable to handle.
