Mo illustrated[2] a few days ago about how confusing the updater is
and I agree with her; and it's mostly my fault. Lists of unlocalized
generic packages are so 1990's, and compared with the Ubuntu Software
Center or the Android App-store we look like amateurs.
Thoughts on making the software center less distro specific? Couldn't
the UI be grafted on top of the PK api?
