OS2008 Downloads in the maemo.org home, still

http://maemo.org still features the OS2008 downloads to all the
newcomers that are stressing the servers and that are most probably
looking for Maemo 5 stuff.

No matter what are the problems they probably have an easy fix, isn't
it. Apparently the current OS2008 homepage is clever enough to show only
apps with screenshots and to trim long texts.

I'd rather show Maemo 5 downloads seeing the home broken from time to
time (pushing us to fix the problems) rather than having the OS2008 up
and the real dirty problems under the carpet a week more.

Or maybe not since the current home shows zcontactssync without
screenshot. :)

Then let's combine it with switching "left" app to be the app with top-karma.
As long, as missing screenshots are ok ;)

screenshots aren't as important as showing right software selection imo

If you do, you can close #5963:

Hello,

I will switch the downloads page to show Maemo 5 apps. It has already
been enabled for about a minute last week, but I reverted it to OS2008,
since the "hot" application had no screenshot and there was no "fresh"
pick at all.

The page does not check if an app has a screenshot or not. I will check
how difficult to implement is. Shouldn't be, but still, I am not 100%
familiar with the code.

I like Alexey's suggestion about showing the "top-karma" app, but let's
do that once we get the "hot" and "fresh" picks appearing there first.

Any objections?

Frontpage updated.

I was wrong. It does check if the app has a screenshot or not, but it
does not take the next app, in case there is no screenshot. It just
displays the image with the big question mark.
However the code -in its current form- is not able to select the 'nth'
application from a list, so can't really look for the 1st "proper"
application in a loop, for example.

Alexey: I am using this URL to load the "hottest" Maemo5 apps:
http://maemo.org/midcom-substyle-bannerblocks/downloads/score/Maemo5/1

Isn't that actually the URL for the top karma app? If yes, then we
solved the problem..

looks fine

but, for some reason, I get maemo5-apps on frontpage even if I open the page using my N810.
I should OS2008-apps in that case

Yes, I have also tested it. Sometimes it recognizes the browser
correctly and sometimes it fails. I suspect there is some caching issue
behind it. I will try to find out the reason later today.
