now that the task for defining the Fremantle
Application Categories has
started, we have the first proposal.
The following category should be added:
user/sharing Sharing Plugins
Plugins that add additional upload protocols to
applications, such as for Flickr photo upload.
I don't like it, for the following reasons (in order of significance):
1) Plugins for a particular protocol or purpose
should go under the appropriate category. If
a user is looking for a photo upload thing,
they should be trained to look in the
appropriate category (e.g. user/graphics[1]).
A Flickr upload *application* should be next
to a Flickr upload widget, should be next
to a Flickr upload applet, should be next
to a Flickr upload *plugin*.
2) Alternatively, we'd have sub-categories
allowing additions and enhancements for a
particular application are found *under* that
app.
3) Why limit the description and facilitation
to *upload* protocols? Sharing is a two-way
process.
4) This semms primarily an Ovi-marketing move
where brands are considered more important
than end-user experience.
Cheers,
Andrew
[1] DHCP struggling at JavaOne (again) so can't check
what the most appropriate category actually is.
