Many thanks for the response, Dan! Please do let us know more details, that would really help! I've done everything the Google documentation says to do to ensure that my gadget is in the directory and that it stays there.
Also, saying "Editor's Picks" makes it seem like there is a Human Being behind the pick, or even a group of humans. Now, while I understand that you must receive a huge volume of gadgets, saying "Editor's Pick" might be a little misleading, don't you think? Please do let us know what you find out. And if there are humans that approve the editor's picks, we'd love to know who they are!
