We will be importing this into the community edition (SAMce) sometime in mid-May. It will also take some work on the JVending side to include in the discovery page. Of course, SAMce/JVending are both open-source, so someone may decide to do it earlier. > > > * I like how you offer the ability for a user to update the catalog > URL.

Just point the URL to your own instance. The provisioning server is all open-source: http://code.google.com/p/jvending . Just setup your own instance,stock it and point the SAMce client to it. This is the xml that the client sees: http://jv.slideme.org:8080/provisioning/AndroidDiscovery . We also have something going on the jvending-developers mailing list to form a group for distributed searching of the catalog, which will allow everyone to plugin their own instance to the federation. With this, you can point the URL to a relay and search everyone's catalog. The more people we get with their own servers setup, the stronger line we can form against the content aggregators late this year. > If so, that would be really cool (ie. > a site could say: update SlideME's URL, and SlideME will automatically > bring up all applications my company has created). > > Suggestions / Possible Issues I noticed: > > * I see the 5 demo applications. Does this mean one's users are > uploading are not currently being displayed? We have a bug on the SAMce 1.0 version of the client, which breaks if users don't upload an icon. We will have that fixed in the next day or so. Then we will push the stocked apps from the CMS front-end to the JV back-end and you will be able to see your applications. I'll send out a notice when we push the apps, so you can see your own app in the list. > > > * How do I sort by application type? Is that still being developed? Yes, we have a closed source version coming out in a few weeks that supports this. If there is community interest, I'll make sure we move that functionality over to the SAMce, open-source version. > > > * I downloaded an application, but cannot get it to run from "My > Apps". This is not currently supported. I still need to look into how this can be done. But again, its all open-source, so if you get that part working, just submit a patch to http://code.google.com/p/slideme project and I'll get it in. Everyone benefits. > > > * I can't seem to get to the "terms and conditions" link to download > an application or even the bottom "Applicaitons / My Apps / Settings" > icons on the QVGA emulator. We haven't done much testing in QVGA. I'll look into that. > > > * In either emulator, I cannot seem to locate an exit or quit button. Good point. We need to add that. Patches also welcome.
