The catalog is / should be a strong marketing tool for maemo applications, both for potential and actual maemo users. -- Quim Gil - http://maemo.org _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
