Given that it is OSS I don't see how you can stop it.

Mean competitors could then simply compile the apk and distribute it on the market... (since it is open source...).. making that particular OSS ineligible to participation.

This could easily be facilitated via discussions on the android-app-distribution group, or if people wanted, I could have AndAppStore expanded to include a "Looking for testers" section alongside the existing pre-release apps section.

There are plenty of released apps that deserve the exposure of a contest like this. I suppose we'll see what happens. Glad at least I've included a kill switch in my product in case I want to pull the plug.

I don't think that is a big deal. They will get a 1000 new apps to play with. Not bad. On May 27, 2009, at 6:59 PM, JP <[email protected]> wrote: This is a total fiasco. To add insult to injury - Existing Market releases will drown in dumpware as releases of any halfway decent app will not occur between now and the end of ADC 2.
