1. Developers can optionally list alphas of their apps at itT so users can be notified about them out and suggest features as well as report bugs<br>
2. Developers get it in extra-devel repos<br>
3. Post .install at itT for further discussion as well as Maemo.org downloads<br>

I'm afraid that I still don't see the distinction between the itT software section and the Maemo.org downloads section. Maemo/Downloads offers all the same functionality and is in a better position to integrate with Garage, with memo-hosted auto-builder/packaging infrastructure, and with any maemo-extras software taxonomy that emerges (the itT software section has yet another software classification taxonomy that isn't related to any of the other taxonomies in a way that I can identify).<div class="Ih2E3d">

The main intention is to make apps more visible to end users and have them join in with the development by providing feedback. This would hopefully help developers more improve their apps as well as offer better IT software to the IT community in the long run.<br>

This is an admirable goal, but I think a better way of pursuing it would be to contribute functionality to Maemo downloads and look for ways to integrate the itT community with the developer resources offered at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a>, rather than create yet another unintegrated space to watch and monitor for feedback.<br>
