[maemo-developers] Extras-testing improvements

I completely agree with Graham Cobb here, Extras should contain apps
that work no matter how pretty or poorly spelled they are.

If the general Nokia view is that Extras apps should also look pretty
and have nice design (i.e. so they reflect well on the device), which is
a good goal for all apps, but should not be a requirement, then we need
another repo layer between Extras-testing and Extras proper, where apps
that work but are perhaps not up to the stringent prettiness standards
can be placed.

The problem then is that no-one will bother with Extras anymore, but
perhaps there could be some added incentive to push stuff to Extras
(more publicity on the front page, etc., etc.).

Cheers,


Simon
