if the app passes the extras-testing criteria why shouldn't it be there.<br><br>good on you Thomas!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 9:15 PM, David Greaves <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david@dgreaves.com">david@dgreaves.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
However, I apologise : it's a nice app. I can see why you'd want it packaged and<br>
visible; I've added it to my desktop.<br>
(Nb, map needs to be scrollable - but you knew that)<br>
<br>
I think it would make sense for you to get karma for it and for it to be<br>
published via the Extras process; it truly is an N900 web application (heck, it<br>
even has a dependency on maemo-geolocation).<br>
<br>
I also think it makes sense for HAM to allow web-apps to be published but I<br>
personally don't think it's there yet - maybe packaging this up as a desktop/app<br>
mgr launch icon is the way to go. Nokia led the way with the 'ovi store' link.<br>
Eventually maybe we'll see better presentation... but the issue may need forcing.<br>
<br>
I do worry about a proliferation of packaged web links though - I thin I'd like<br>
some kind of bar to be set here.<br>
