That was not the point. Please read my initial problem description. The problem is, that if your application catalog entry states that you have packages for multiple OS version (my current packages support OS2006 and OS2007) and you search for packages for OS 2007, you will not see most of my packages. At least that is the way it is for my packages. This will get worse for OS 2008 when it will be release. Me and likely all maintainers of long existing and stable packages will add OS 2008 to their list of supported OS versions. If new user will search for software for their new N810 they may not see these packages at all and will assume that there are no packages while in fact they are (it is difficult to judge which packages he will see, because if I go to downloads.maemo.org and just do the default search (any packages for OS 2007) I only see a small subset that has no obivous common criteria - but only a small subset). They have to walk all the categories manually to see all available applications. The bug ticket you linked sounds like it will fix this problem by changing the interface. Will it be out in time? -- Gruß... Tim. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hmm, as asked before: In my case (and possibly others) I also have a sourceforge project page. So while I can make a separate garage projects for each of my projects it is likely that I would not use much of the infrastructure. Especially I would not use the subversion repository, since all my code is already placed at sourceforge. And I likely would link to my sourceforge homepage for more information and else would duplicate information from the sf homepage. However it still looks like I would profit from this so: if this is OK for you, it is OK for me ;-) It would be nice if external hosting sites would be integrated/supported better, but I would need to play a little bit more with garage to make concrete suggestions. >> The Application Catalog still seems to be horribly broken. > I wouldn't be so tough bu in any case let's evaluate OK. That was to drastic, but in fact I plan to build initial version of my packages for OS2008 within the next two weeks (just need some final finishing touch for one package) and of course I will update the information in the Application Catalog. However it seems that anybody that looks for already existing applications for his 810 currently will not find them (if this package is also available for OS 2007 or 2006).

Thank you very much for your kind help but but I am already 2 days lost with my challenge application.

We are helping maemo users to link to their alter egos, so we are asking about your SF profile if you want to provide it.

Re: N810 maemo device program open for submissions
Hello! > * Contributors apply themselves through their maemo profiles. No > invitation is needed. Please don't send us extra emails, they > won't help you. Some questions: * When will my profile (and the related links) be evaluated? A Short time before the release or a short time after applying? I'm asking because: Is it wise to apply now or better shortly before the deadline? It sounds like the profile will improve over time. And of course I will try to promote my skills using the linked pages. So applying later may be better!? (I would suggest a "make your self attractive" deadline ;-) Please understand: I don't want to ceat but I want to make sure there is the information you are looking for. * Is the sourceforge link in the profile meant to be a link to my personal source "users" page or to a sf web page for my project(s)? I'm asking because the users page does not tell that much (and it looks like I can only publish my skills if I enter a resume :-/). * I'm currently hosting by applications using sourceforge (because they are not maemo only, just maemo "optimized", I use sf much longer than maemo exists, etc...), having a repository on my homepage. My application only occur in the Application Catalog. So my fear is, that people "don't see" me (see above ;-)). because I'm neither using garage for my developments nor do I see a link from my profile to my projects (which should be the case). This is a problem that bothers my for a while... * How can I better promote my application in this case? Can I make a garage project page for my application? Would this make sense? I would also suggest And something completely unrelated: The Application Catalog still seems to be horribly broken. Example: Go to the main page, sue the standard settings (2007, Any licence, Any status) and search for EightyOne => No hit. No go in the "Games" category, step to page 2 and there it is. Since I read multiple times and the catalog was broken and was fixed after and because this bug seem to have last now for quite a while I always assume that somehow this is not a bug (and f it is a bug, I have an idea what the problem is (looks like searching for 2007 does not match 2006+2007 support!?)). But now it looks like it is time for a ticket/discussion anyway. So: Is this by design (and if it is: does that make sense?)? -- Gruß...

See point 2 in http://maemo.org/device/terms/ , the part "or you > have a valid address in that country where the purchased device can be > sent" i.e. you have address of your friend or relative. Letstalk.com, the company responsible to sell the N800 in US, doesn't accept credit cards printed outside the US (even the International Credit Cards). So you will need ask to your friend or relative to pay your device for you. It's *very* hard to get a Internet Tablet in South America. I've spent more than $400 only with taxes and shipment to import my N800 to Brazil. The price of N800 with my developer's program discount code was $125 ~€99.

Re: N810 maemo device program open for submissions
Is there a chance of N810 be sold in some country of South America? Or, is there other options to developers who lives outside the countries that maemo program covers? []'s!

Re: N810 maemo device program open for submissions
Hello Quim, maybe wiki page with questions&answers would be good again. Q: Is the code really tied to specific country or only to region (US/Europe) like before? Can I change the country in future? The form needs to fill specific country in field "Nokia shop to get the device from". Can I select some country now but change it later to some other (European) country if something goes wrong with the "you have a valid address in that country where the purchased device can be sent" condition in future?
