The key difference between YaST and the software store is that YaST lists packages, and software store should list applications. I compiled a list of what I'd like to see in it. The list is based on my experience with Android Market (and some experience with Appstore), as well as what I would like to see improved (taking some ideas from Ubuntu's software center). I think the software store should be able to do the following: 1. Present applications in a user-friendly way. Note that an application is a collection of packages presented as a whole. There should also be a screenshot section and a main icon for an application. 2. Allow the users to install and remove applications with one click. 3. Allow the users to download applications for later installation. 4. Allow the users to rate the applications, leave comments. Some way of feedback (solutions to common problems, a way to report bugs) should be provided. 5. Let the users browse the applications by category. For example the "Graphics" category will include The Gimp and other similar programs. 6. Let the users sort applications according to their score, number of downloads, etc... 7. The users should be able to view suggested applications that other users with similar installed applications may have used. This will help users to maintain a certain type of desktop setup. For example, if a user has installed a lot of GNOME applications, a GNOME application should be suggested/preferred. 8. There should be a support installation profiles (or accounts). For example, if a user is migrating from and old openSUSE version to a new one, he/she should be able to just say - "install whatever I had installed in the old one". 9. A user profile should contain applications that a user may have used (and uninstalled) in the past. 10. A user should be able to easily set up a second computer with applications from the first one. A list of previously installed applications should be sufficient. 11. Things should be as simple as possible for the developers. For example, if a developer already has a package at OBS, no further action (like building an msi/osi-like package) should be needed. Except maybe adding some screenshots, an icon and a description (all through OBS). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306924
