What is a Testing Squad?
How everybody can help
- You can help testing beta software available in the Extras-testing repository, in order to provide high quality software to the Maemo users.
- If you don't feel ready to join the testing Squad or don't have enough skills, you can still help, testing the applications from a user point of view (Functionalities, description, etc...).
How to join the Testing Squad
- Read the "How everybody can help" section above.
- Join the Testing Squad group at maemo.garage.
- Subscribe the Testing Squad mailing list.

Testers FAQ
The application has a usable but very ugly UI, should I thumb it down ?
No, developers are encouraged to adopt the Maemo 5 UI guidelines and optimize their application to finger use. However, lack of Maemo 5 UI optimization is not a reason to block an application in its way to Extras unless it is unusable even with stylus.
I found a critical bug during testing, what I should do ?
First you should report the bug in the application bugtracker, after that ask the developer to thumb down the application(in order to demote it) and add it to the this list.
