If there is going to be a more detailed page for each app, I would replace
the "Homepage" and "Download" links with a "Details" link pointing to the
more detailed application-specific page and a Status indicator to let people
know if the app is a WIP, Alpha, Beta, Stable release.

That way, once an app is added to the index page, the information on there
does not need to be updated each time the detail page is updated. Makes it
easier to maintain.

Two main groups of indicies should be "Maemo Applications" (apps that run in
the 770 itself) and "Maemo Support Applications" (apps that run on a
computer that connects to the 770 which has the primary purpose of
supporting the 770 in some way ... be it converting media, browser plugins,
sync tools)

Then each of those groups could be subdivided into functional groups
(Network, PIM, etc.) like they are now.

That is my opinion anyways.
