When I was starting with maemo development, I also found it a source of 
motivation.

Ok, that sounds good. Is app karma documented somewhere? I can only find 
this: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Karma_for_applications

Hmm, well... partially. If you look at the Downloads start page, it 
looks like Hot/Popular is sorted by app karma. But if you follow the 
"Popular" link[1], you get the 25 most downloaded applications. No app 
karma there.

Cheers!
