>From your current site statistics, are there any real users actually testing and giving good comments to those who post their apk in the pre-release area? I think an open pre-release area is probably better than requiring one to login. Or at least allow one to see the descriptions of the pre-release apk and then you can choose whether to login to download (and then comment on) it or not. I am guessing most users to your site did not login to download apks, right?
