Maemo 5 apps to maemo.org frontpage

Sorry, I typed the wrong address...

Hi, what about having Maemo 5 apps shown by default at http://maemo.org and
http://maemo.org/downloads ? Most users going to maemo.org expect most probably
to find that now that the N900 starts selling.

Also the Downloads search doesn't work for Maemo 5 apps. i don't know if the
problem is that the entries are not indexes or what. The results usually refer
to OS2008.

I just committed a fix for this to maemo2midgard:
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=maemo2midgard&revision=1537

But I believe that this needs to be manually deployed afterwards - it's
not done with a post-commit hook or anything (Henri, can you confirm
that, please?) In which case, that won't change the front page yet.

Cheers,
Dave.

Because of "Bullshit Bingo"?

I don't understand why there isn't also the featured app there, though.

Cheers,
Dave.

:) I just committed a change too. And made it quickly available on the
site. It looked bad, see attached screenshot. I think it is not yet time
to feature Maemo5 apps on the frontpage.

Not because of the app itself, but it has no screenshot.

But that can happen with Maemo 4 apps as well. Anyway, my thoughts on
the matter:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5963

"Applications without screenshots shouldn't appear on front page of downloads"

Cheers,

Andrew
