The project stalled for almost a year. Then I wanted to join and take over Amber development but we decided to better move the features into pkgdb and work together. I don't think pkgdb is the right place for this it can serve as a backend (better would be to just access the underlying db directly, for performance reasons), but the frontend is to developer and package oriented. > I also like the original Amber mockups (I believe they were created by Mike Langlie).

The "Add Category" feature does not make sense imho. (same for tags) Don't show "X-Redhat-Base" what is that supposed to mean to the user? "Application" does not make sense as a category. Remove the "packages" section, why should a user care about this? It should be just a simple interface for users to find and install apps and rate them (to find popular apps). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
