Will you also have a look at unifying all bugtrackers? Every garage project has one inside
gforge, and maemo has its own bugzilla, which makes moving 'bug in maemo, not in
maemo-mapper' type bugs time-consuming.

Btw, as some people (including me) will want to see a screenshot of
any given app before giving it a whirl (or just to judge the UI ;),
are screenshots planned to be included in garage?

No app can be succesful without pretty screenshots you know!

We will not focus on this at the 1st phase of the project. As I wrote we
may continue the work and then this unification has one of the highest
priorities.

Screenshots? Hmm, why not? We could actually have a section at the
project's homepage [1]. It only requires a 'www' directory in the
subversion repo as described in the MaemoGarageStartupUp how-to [2].

But before that we really need to do some work. Perhaps TigerT could
also draw us some fancy new layout graphics if we ask him nicely ;)

We're moving the application catalogue from a single wiki page into a
Midgard-powered database, and
it will be trivial to add screenshot support there.

BTW, the work on "Midgardizing" the maemo layout templates is now
starting up...
