Cool, those look great.  A couple of comments:

o CSS - my CSS skills are weak, to say the least.  I'll have trouble
implementing some of these ideas by myself.

o App icons - I can extract the icons from /usr/share/icons when I parse
rpms.  This is probably a lot better than having you or someone
else create an icon for each app.  It might be a little tricky to pick
the 'right' icon, though.

o 'Download' should probably be 'Install' throughout.  Or maybe there's
a better 'normal user' word for 'I want this app on my computer'?

o User ratings on the details page - I haven't quite figured this out,
but my general idea was that user ratings would be more along the lines
of free-form text.  Like "I have used this application to 'Write
reports___'", instead of per-category.  OTOH, maybe the traditional
categories and ratings could be combined somehow.
