Title:
Increase the number of commercial apps significantly...
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
The software centre seems to only have a handful of commercial apps.
There is clearly something wrong if the (supposedly) most popular
desktop linux distribution for end users doesn't have developers
banging on their doors wanting to put there software in the ubuntu
equivalent "app store"
Part of this might be the look and feel, but part of this might be workflow or canonical restrictions... but to see articles like this
http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/10-commercial-apps-for-linux-that-i.html
and see NONE of these apps in the software centre... shows a problem.
There should be a clear and obvious link on the front page of the
software centre to a process to get vendor apps added (by the vendor)
or for end users to suggest vendor apps to add.
[for this really to take off, some way to increase the pop of the
content would be nice so it's really showing off the software... it's
kind of dull right now. Bring a marketing team, the ui designers, and
a few key vendors marketing staff together for a JAD session -- but I
suppose that needs another bug logged.]
I view this as a deficiency... not a wishlist to be ignored.
