openSUSE:KDE App Installer

App Installer Sprint

Tasks

• Frank: Website, testdata, categories
• Mateu: package kit, pop up error, optimization startup refresh and resolving
• Eugene: artwork
• Port to KConfig
• Fix qmake
• UI refinements
  • Remove Meego UI artwork, more standard UI app
  • Icons in categories
  • Toolbar, search bar, remove close icon
  • Show rating

Requirements

• How approach the problem of adding other repositories? Project Brezn will not publish directly to the main openSUSE repository, so to reach Brezn's goal of making it easy to get apps to users, the app installer should be able to access the repos created by Brezn users.
  • Out of scope for this meeting

Design notes

• Category selector always visible
• Categories are shared with app launcher
• No deeply nested structures
  • Therefore, no subcategories
• Icon view or list view?
  • Mobile app stores use list views
  • Larger formats use icon views
• Initial view will display what?
  • Recently updated apps?
  • Popular apps?
  • All apps?
  • Some of each?
