Hey guys,
Sorry I got a little confused about which wishlist was being discussed,
LOL, being so vain I thought it was /education#wishlist LOL.
I was wondering if there could be a page that is like the gui for
SmartPM where you can type in a title and it searches our site for
download info on the package and presents the info and\or its download
location? This could eventually present the trust\rating info too. it
could record each download, if the bug report info gets into the rpm
format, then it could also record the number of bug reports, the
difference between the #of downloads to the #of bug reports could be a
"Trust Rating".

On the subject of downloads and wishlists, could we also set a section
of the middle of http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org under
"Getting OpenSUSE" called "Getting Software that runs on OpenSUSE" or
"Getting software Certified by OpenSUSE"?  couldn't this point to the
above search tool eventually?
is that a Henne question? In my opinion finding the ftp is still to
hard, because the main download link on the left points to downloading
OpenSUSE and it isn't clear where to go to get ISV stuff for OpenSUSE.
The "Package Repository" link\page points mainly to updates to packages
delivered in OpenSUSE.
I may be thinking to much like a newbie but isn't that who we want to
attract?
