Very good points. I very much agree that a list of applications is what we want here. Fedora Community is not really filling that niche, since is very much focused on the 'project' aspect of Fedora. In fact, I have been toying with the idea to make a 'Cool applications for Fedora' style page, using the PackageKit browser plugin. A very crude test of the idea can be seen here: http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/Screenshot-Applications%20for% 20Fedora.png This obviously needs the helping hand of a web designer. For F12, this would probably be not much more than a static web page. Rating and similar ideas described in http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ApplicationInstaller will come later.
