There's a staging deployment at <http://162.213.34.169/html/>. Work is
underway to get it put into a production location and have the Ubuntu
mirrors fetch and serve the data so that apt can do the following
automatically.

In the meantime you can run
<http://people.canonical.com/~laney/random-scripts/appstream.sh> (as
root, read it first) to manually put it in the right place. After that
you'd expect gnome-software to list available applications, but it
doesn't for me at least. So there is still some more work to be done
here, probably on the PackageKit side.

Cheers,
