Great Stuff Guys! Thank you for never ceasing to help me remember why this is the distro for me :)<br><br>A couple of questions,<br><br>1) Will this Central locations simply encourage Companies like Google, Yahoo/Zimbra, etc. to have their .deb packages or self extracting/installing packages maintained in this center? Or will it actually manage the software regardless of how it has been installed?<br>
<br>2) Do any of the Devs have experience with Cydia? It is the jailbroken AppStore for the iPhone, using .debs, I believe. The reason I ask is because I really enjoy the way it has broken down software to be searchable by "Internet," or "Utilities," and also by the acutal repository keeper, say, "Canonical," "Google," etc; so that Picasa would be in the categories, "Google," and in "Photo/Video," for example. Zimbra would be in "Yahoo," and also in "Messaging." Those examples kind of depend on my first question though. Better to use the example of VLC being in "Video Lan" and in "Photo/Video." <br>
<br>Where would a more formal suggestion (including some basic mockups) be best placed in the wiki?<br><br><br>Thanks,<br>Anthony<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 12:28 PM, Robbie Williamson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robbie@ubuntu.com">robbie@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>I agree...I personally liked App Center, but could be persuaded to like maybe<br>
Ubuntu Software Center. I think most users would interpret "Store" as a place<br>
to buy apps.<br>
