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