So does this mean no packagekit? I knew plans for it in karmic had been dropped but this appcenter will replace Add/Remove instead? Would it be possible and/or worth it to base it on packagekit?

Now, AppCenter has a brand name: the Ubuntu Software Store. <<a href="http://launchpad.net/software-store" target="_blank">http://launchpad.net/software-store</a>> And it has a package in Ubuntu Karmic: software-store. <<a href="http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-store" target="_blank">http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-store</a>> The objective for Ubuntu 9.10 is for the Store to replace Add/Remove Applications. But there is plenty of work left to do to reach that goal. We're looking for help from artists, copy-editors, GTK/Clutter hackers, interface designers, librarians (!), packagers, Python programmers, and testers. We welcome useful contributions from anyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience.
