Re: Any progress in Software Center in Fedora effort?

The ultimate software center is a web application, like Google playstore.

All the rating and commenting and other info, need to be centrally maintained and it is not a good idea to try to distribute this kind of metadata.
There shall just be a local installer to install the packages triggered by the web app.
Another thing is what the users of Fedora and most other linux'es is not my old mother and most of these users, don't care about a big fancy software shop.
So nobody is going to do this great amount of work it takes to make a great webstore, Ubuntu need it for the same ways as Apple, they want to earn some money.
It is an illusion that if we just have a fancy webstore, every body will start using Fedora IMHO.
It will be nice if more people uses Fedora, but it not the main target, the greatness of Fedora is not measured but how many user it have, compared to other Linuxes or other os'es.
