Hey guys, Apologies for the delayed responses on this thread. The App Gallery was something that was really awesome in App Engine's infancy, but App Engine has since matured a bit and it's really not the best way to showcase App Engine's capabilities. We've decommissioned it. If you're interested in App Engine happenings, you'll definitely want to regularly check out our Reddit page:
http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine We should have better communicated our intents with this page. We're unlikely to bring the App Gallery back. I'd personally love to see an App Engine application that serves the function the App Gallery served, maybe one that even uses the Prediction API (http://code.google.com/apis/predict/) to sort out the spam and do rankings. If this is a project community members are interested in taking on, let me know and I'll get you access to the prediction API. On a related note, due to the changes coming in Google Groups, we will be porting the Open Source projects page as well as the "Will it Play" Java frameworks page to our Project Hosting site: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/w/list -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 1:03 AM, Tonny <[email protected]> wrote: > I you wan't to emphasize the importance of this thread, please mark is > a favorite - I tink Google Engineers are monitoring those for > importance. > > On Nov 8, 8:53 am, Julian Namaro <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think a specific "App Engine" tag in a general Web App Gallery would > > make more sense than what we had before. > > After all, what you can do with App Engine is pretty much the same > > than what you can do with other technology stacks, and much of what > > the user experiences is the common client-side part anyway. > > > > On Nov 7, 6:21 am, nickmilon <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Also the gallery was a kind of museum where you could see how GAE > > > appls have been evolved in time from the early days circa April 2008 > > > till now, always advancing using new features of the platform or as > > > the features were understood by the developers. > > > Now if they even do substitute this with a new site I doubt early > > > developers will go and resubmit their work. > > > So I only hope Google reconsiders this, fixes the problems related to > > > spam and classification of appls and restore the site. > > > > > On Nov 6, 5:17 am, Julian Namaro <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > An App Gallery is a great idea but Google's one looked like a weekend > > > > project thrown out in the wild and was pretty useless. > > > > There was a lot of spam, unhelpful reviews, and occasionally you > could > > > > see Desktop software (running only on Windows, not even cross- > > > > plateform) with a whole bunch of 5-stars ratings in this "App Engine" > > > > gallery. > > > > > > My guess is that they're deprecating the gallery in favor of the > > > > Chrome Web Store.
