There is a community repos working group that is working on setting up the infrastructure to accept applications as you mentioned, including a well-defined acceptance process. ETA for this is Sept, though I hope we can have something sooner. Once in place, applications that are accepted and placed in the community repo will be immediately seen by the appropriate installers.
There is also AppUp and OVI store infrastructures which can accept applications although they are also in the process of enabling MeeGo.

It seems it will fit well into MeeGo which I have installed on an Acer one 532 and it runs well. I believe that applications are going to be key to the success and/or failure of MeeGo and the whole distribution/availability of such are of great importance. I have several questions related to this: 1. How do developers such as ourselves submit a product to be included in the software repository and who is going to control application acceptance so it is not just filled up with junk. 2. There has been talk of an "app store" like approach to MeeGo applications. Can somewhere point me in the right direction for information relating to this. This seems to be an important requirement in order to make it easy for users to aquire/download/install applications in a simple manner similar to the iphone/ipad. MeeGoApps.com? Thanks
