That looks pretty nice... will test soonish. In the mean time, a couple
of comments:

First, I can't help commenting on the Pluthon and Esbox websites. Ajax
may have its place, but breaking the back button on a normal web page is
a big no-no in my books (just try the top menus).

Second, I've been meaning to file a bug report on maemo-pc-connectivity
for a couple of days, but didn't know where [1]. Is there a bugzilla
component or a garage project?

And third, here's the bug:

Your package does not comply with packaging guidelines, specifically the
 the part about Section-fields [2] and so is part of the problem that
makes Application Manager categories unusable [3]. I suggest changing
the current section ("user/devel") to something that is in line with the
guidelines.

Note that I'm not saying we don't need a "development" category. I'm
saying you should propose new categories on the list before using them.


Thanks,
  Jussi
