</I>>><i> >> sorry but who is supposed to use mageia-app-db ? power users ? dev ?
</I>>><i> >> casual/normal users ?
</I>>><i> >>
</I>>><i> >
</I>>><i> > Samuel said that the application must be useful both for newbies and power
</I>>><i> > users
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> ok for power users, but for normal users the Ui is too cluttered
</I>><i>
</I>><i> [remember that this is only a first mockup made by me (the developer is
</I>><i> Samuel), my goal is to provide to him all the most interesting infos and ideas
</I>><i> to develop the app as best as possible.]
</I>><i>
</I>>><i> 1. left pane : Release Alpha vs Cauldron ? for a normal user, this
</I>>><i> means pretty nothing. If the user is looking for an
</I>>><i> application/package, then don't talk about release or repositories.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> well, if you have mandriva installed, do you think you don't know what release
</I>><i> is? alpha release vs. cauldron could be "Mageia 2011" and "Mageia 2012"
</I>
whereas eventually I may know about release ( Mageia 2011 ), I may not
know about updates/backports/testing/....
What's the point fo browsing by release ? It's an application
database, so you should browse by applications.
>><i> What about using instead rpm categories, and then display theses kind
</I>>><i> of information in the package infos
</I>><i>
</I>><i> do you mean showing only "amarok" field and when you get into it you'll
</I>><i> download different versions depending on the release installed? it can be an
</I>><i> interesting idea.
</I>
first I see the main categories : Office, Sound & Video, Tools, ...
Then the sub-category and then the application :
Sound & Video -> Sound -> Amarok
The left pane should only show categories, the application list will
be displayed in the center pane.
See tthe way you navigate in this :

>><i> 2. right pane : Alpha vs Beta ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> also here, i mean something like this: "Mageia 2011" and "Mageia 2012"
</I>
this won't scale when you will have more and more release, except if
you plan to show only 2 releases, and so to support a mandriva release
only during 2 releases cycles.
