One thing I would like to see tested at least the first time round would be handling of the apps during a phone update. The last thing we want when upgrading the phone images is all the users installed apps being removed or still being installed but not visible in the apps lens. With regards phone updates rather than app updates. With regard to app updates I'm assuming that unless the dev is changing text, images etc that then can just click edit on the click package and upload the new package. For the initial manual review process to have a detailed example of what to look for/at would be good, or a video/hangout so we can see a review in progress. Monkey see monkey do learning and all that. One last thing would be a prior art check unless we are leaving that to the abuse reporting mechanism? I'm assuming it will be easy enough to check that an app that is published via click won't allow an app with the same name to be submitted. - -- You make it, I'll break it!
