[maemo-developers] Quality assurance of "stable" software: my battery drained in few hours

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

I also experienced that with the Facebook widget alone, but the
battery performance is also very poor without any active widgets or
connections (6 hours max!). I am also curious what sort of QA
procedures the OVI store publishing process carries, but this is what
I think only one sign of a greater problem with quality assurance that
I think is lacking across projects.

I hope we can change this in MeeGo, and ASAP.
