[maemo-developers] in garage, is it possible to configure a project so as to allow only registered garage users to download my application?

No, you can't force users to login to download your app so that you can send them notifications at a later date; and I'd argue against ever adding such a feature:

  * You'll be spamming people by default, without a clear
    mechanism for unsubscribing.
  * There is a  "notify me of updates in this project"
    feature, so this functionality already exists as an
    opt-in.
  * Your app, if it's for the tablets, should be uploaded
    to Extras: a) the user won't be getting it through
    Garage; b) the Application Manager will inform
    users of updates.

Cheers,

Andrew
