A minor update

I haven't been very productive lately. My two projects are blocked by missing people (karsten and jott, where are you hiding?). Need to harass the rest of the Council about blogging and finishing up everything on our wiki page, but I'm sure they're busy (as am I).

We did restart discussion on the categories issue, which is ongoing, if you want to weigh in (deadline for a a final list is sometime before things really start ramping up for Fremantle). There are some interesting ideas being tossed around. One of which, sub-sections, qwerty12 successfully tested with Extras and Application manager yesterday morning—a good candidate for a hildon-application-manager patch if I do say so myself. ;)

On the subject of sections, over the past two weeks I've also been harassing package maintainers about clearly invalid sections, and suggesting general packaging improvements (like using some of the Maemo-specific package fields). The response has been fairly positive so far, though there have been more than a few non-responders (Boingo just subscribed me to their newsletter when I emailed their support address). I started a very rough first draft for a Maemo-packaging overview article if anybody's interested in adding to it.

Going to bug the maemo.org guys more about the server updates today, doesn't seem like there's been much progress since the new boxes were delivered and I'm not really sure what's going on.
