Garage, subversion and git repositories, autobuilders, issue trackers, mailing lists... what can be done to improve the Maemo application developer experience by the community?

-	* ~~Item 1~~	+
-	** ~~Sub~~-~~item 1~~	+	* requests for improvements
-	** ~~Sub-item 2~~	+	** do not auto-upload to public repo on succeeding build, give developer a method to check the actual result prior to "publishing" the package (gri)
-	* ~~Item 2~~	+	** have a purge button, so a successfully built package that doesn't look like intended, can be removed/overwritten by a modified version, without need for incrementing version number (synt: bundyo, nicolai)
-	*~~: Indented paragraph belonging~~ to ~~item 2~~	+
-	*# ~~Numbered sublist~~	+	* debate about alternatives
-	*# ~~Numbered sublist~~	+	** qgil says there are better alternatives nowadays, so why put effort into improvements of the current service
		+	** Ferenc Szekely points to functions of garage that are hard to implement in any of the alternative services, like upload privileges to extras
		+	** Jaffa about the current setup:
		+	*** #advantages:
		+	*** familiarity between projects
		+	*** cross-project collaboration
		+	*** streamlined tools for Maemo
		+	*** single authentication/authorisation point
		+	*** svn
		+	*** #disadvantages / requests for improvement:
		+	*** poor communication in the past (move to vcs.maemo.org and drop.maemo.org)
		+	*** concerns about qgil's suggestion to go into "maintenance mode" might cause bit rot
		+	** qgil calls for staying on topic, which is "what are the top priority tasks at maemo for the next 6 months". Then he claims maemo developer services has pretty much all it needs, and most of the developers will migrate to meego in a short while, so we shouldn't waste effort on improving maemo developer services
		+	** Jaffa (and Tekojo) disagrees on the meego part of qgil. In the scope of this brainstorm impact of meego on maemo still unclear.
		+	** Tekojo nicely summarizes: "''What it needs to do it does it already.'' Here I agree. Garage has been a fairly low maintenance, reliable service for a long time. Don't poke at it without a good reason. And if such reasons come up, Ferenc knows where to poke"
