Any chance GitHub could turn into a first-class Android market? The inability to distinguish at a glance FOSS apps from closed apps has been one of the odd lit

  Being able to find quality applications for my problems has been the biggest deterrent to me in participating, as a customer, in the Android market. I have not encountered any real problem in getting an application once I know it exists. Whatever can make finding good solutions to my problems easy will become my first-class Android market. Right now I often find myself haranguing other people with Android phones or sifting through blog and forum posts in order to tease out what the quality applications are. The sad part is I'd classify my mobile computer problems as really pretty simple compared to my lap/desk top problems. With my mobile (excluding communications) I'm almost always either trying to find/retrieve some specific fact(s) (how do I get from A to B, what is that star, is that a good price, what time was the meeting, show and tell with pictures, play music) or record some fact(s) (photos, voice, opinion on wine, exercise results).
