More than enough. And you can always learn if you want you currently know is not enough.

I'm not saying that what those sites are doing is good and you should do the same. I said: 'get the ratings from your own development console'. Whether that is 100% legal, IANAL. > I understand the process/steps you laid out and I'm sure I could do it as I > have done so with userscripts/javascripts before...but...as you state in > step four, it would require me to manually update the info.

You can direct your criticism to the Android Market team. If you can find where they live :) BTW, the reason all those sites that show app info popped up in the first place, was that there was no Android Market web site until recently. So some progress is being made, but If you don't like the promotion you are getting on the Android Market Web site, you are free to do your own. In that case, though, why should they provide you with promotion tools? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
