Hi, an additional comment regarding the help-system to avoid misunderstandings. As I said before there won't be any help-system in Fremantle. This means that any help, has to be implemented within the application itself. There are a lot of ways how to do that, and a really easy way would be to

Hi, Let me start again because I don't think this downstream-upstream relationship is relevant to define hhis extras QA process. Proof: if an application in extras has been demoted because of a severe bug in a library it's the maintainer of that app the main responsible of finding a solution.
