Or maybe, with tongue in cheek, PackRack?<br>
<br>
I get a little weary of the app thing (too much of the Apple core in<br>
there!) A package is a pack and a rack is where one stores one's packs.<br>

I'm not too fond of the App-Whatever either, sounds too Apple-ish to me.<br>
I don't really like terms such as Store or Market which evocate buying<br>
stuff, I think the main purpose of Mageia-app-db will be to install<br>
free/non-free but free of charge softwares.<br>

Well, to me, the name market and all of it connotations is quite consumerist, and<br>
doesn't really fit with the spirit of a community distribution, based on collaboration<br>
more than pure commercial exchange as the various proposed name implies.<br>
<br>
When samuel presented his idea, I was quite interested because it would allows me as a packager<br>
to find who would be ok to test packages, to collaborate when i need confirmation for a bug<br>
and so on.<br>
<br>
But it seems that the vast majority of proposal are geared toward replicating the model<br>
of Apple Appstore, Google market and others :<br>
- app market, app box, software database, app center, Appworld, software portal.<br>
<br>
Where is the collaboration in all of this ?<br>
