:)<br><br>this has been a good informative discussion.<br>since we are working on beta, can i suggest something.<br><br>anidels point about app feedback *from the device itself* is important.<br><br>if me as a user selects extras testing and installs a an app because anidel said his new version is there<br>
from that moment on, it should be the device itself that monitors the process.<br><br>in the same way the crash reporter pops up and asks a question after a crash, can we discuss a path to similar for testing apps?<br>perhaps if the app itself in testing had a flag added to its desktop file (or some other way, a list perhaps *hand waving*)<br>
and when the user has run the app they are testing, or 1/2/12/24 hours after installing the user was directly asked<br><br>"what are your feelings on this app?"<br><br>it would give control directly to the testers and remove the disconnect that currently occurs - I for one have major problems maintaining a big long list of places and sites and things I should look for and the packages list overwhelms me with multiple versions and complex filenames which mean nothing to me as a user.<br>
the app is installed on my tablet, it is a computer, it knows the version, it knows the url path - i can give valuable feedback there and then.<br><br>i dont know how practical or complex an app of this nature would be, but we have enough toolkits and developers around who might help code something up.<br>
it should even go through extras-testing itself!<br><br>gary<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Aniello Del Sorbo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anidel@gmail.com">anidel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Thus I guess we need to work on what those testers should work.<br>
Is this being done?<br>
<br>
And what about the second part of the proposal?<br>
