As part of the current boosters sprint[1] which aims at integrating the appstream[2] project into our distribution we would like to enhance the web view on our packages at software.o.o/search.
With the final target of an web-based appstore we began thinking of how to display a package (app) to the user. The challenge is to make available the matrix of different OS versions, repositories and package versions in a clear way while making it easy for the standard user to get the latest stable version for his OS without getting confused.
We already have a mockup available: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/software.o.o/package-view.png
Feedback appreciated :-)
"The openSUSE instance currently has over 30.000 users that are building almost 160.000 packages for 22 base distributions on 6 architectures." Source:Portal:Build Service
As an user I would appreciate an additional functionality to search for applications via schemes. For examble: If I would look for an app for project management and don't know the name. So I would like to search for office applications and look if there is an app available.
Is this idea discussed already?
That would be one of the next steps to create a browsing by category, or appstore like entry page similar to http://www.apple.com/iphone/from-the-app-store/ Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org
