I have no strong opinion on this one, either is fine.

 It would be great though if this repository would be used by more
garage projects for actually uploading current versions.

This all sounds great.

However what I am still missing in this proposal is a clear definition
of what repository is supposed to do what and to contain what type of
apps/updates:

E.g.

- - what will come through the tableteer repositories? Critical system
updates, new functionality? http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/

- - http://repository.maemo.org/ Is this still only applicable for
scratchbox and not the 770? If this is not thought directly for the 770
why should the http://repository.maemo.org/contribs (to be renamed
extras) repository be for the 770? Also what will this contain if Maemo2
is considered a stable snapshot? System updates? New functionality?

- -  http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/ Is this a semi-official repository?

PS. On an off-topic side note: I apt-get updated the new
gstreamer-farsight plugin in the hope of reviving the audio/video-player
and no luck (>"Unable to perform this operation"). I seriously consider
reflashing.
