[Gambas-user] Rules for Application Repository?

[T Lee Davidson]

Thanks Tobi.

This brings up two questions addressed to the list as well:

1) Would it be possible to provide a mechanism of reporting application 
listings as, say, "spam"?

2) The App' Repository on the deprecated gambasdoc.org was what came up 
in a web search. Would it be possible to include the "THE WIKI IS NOW IN 
READ-ONLY MODE. THE NEW WIKI IS NOW HOSTED AT http://gambaswiki.org" 
note on ALL pages of the old site for the benefit of whoever else may 
stumble upon it?

Regards,
T. Lee
