But there was a statement at the openSUSE Conference that openSUSE is the distribution for technical users and admins. If we also want to take newbies into account let's copy apple's solution, paint it green and put an openSUSE sticker on it. :-)
You mean we should create an "i[TM]Green Store"?
Well it should at least be as easy as such stores to 1. find and 2. install
the needed "APP" (meaning application, and in the end a small set of
packages).
But would not call it a "Store". If is GPL software that we are distributing
this way we might append wrong assumptions to this tool.
I'd rather see it as some kind of an easy, end-user oriented replacement for
the current package selector that does not bother the user with any kind of
technical details.
There are also openSUSE versions for Netbooks and Meego devices aso. It would
be great if this "Store-like-thingy" (no idea yet how to call it) would run on
each of these with the same look and feel.
