Screenshots in the application list is probably going to be wishlist feature #1. The meanings of the coloured strips are not easy to remember. How about displaying an emblem next to the "install" arrow: a coloured rectangle with a white number "2006"/"2007"/"2005" inside. The colour of the rectangle should match the colour of the strip. Something like this: http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-app-catalog-mockup.png On second thought maybe "OS 2006" inside the rectangle would be clearer. > While we are reviewing the catalog at Nokia I would like to ask you to > help us with the reviews.

Do I need to create three entries, with different project IDs? Actually, a single .install file can work for multiple OS versions. Well, for both OS2006.2 and 2007 at least, if you use the same package name but different repositories. In that case it would make sense to show only one entry for the application, and show all supported OS version emblems next to the install arrow. I don't know what to do with the coloured strip on the left -- choose the colour of the oldest or the newest version, or drop color-coding of the strip and leave just emblems?
