Topic: Dead widget storage

For the health of Chumby's own ecosystem -

Is there a plan for cleaning out old, broken apps?  I'm sure Duane and crew have noticed that many of the listed apps are just black screens now.  Can these be moved to some app purgatory until the authors update them?

Hi DrewBoo...  Duane mentioned the following from his announcement today..

"There are some things left to do - I have a list of apps that need to be updated that have not kept up with the changes made from their data feeds, and some apps will probably have to removed since they are not salvageable.  That will be the primary focus for the next few weeks... I also have some ideas for new apps that have been percolating."
