</I>>><i> Mageia Application Database/Discovery/Foundry

</I>><i>
</I>><i> i really like explore: what about Mageia explore?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Here's my take on an edit of the intro:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Welcome to Mageia Application Discovery! Here, you can search for
</I>>><i> application software to use on your Mageia system, then download and
</I>>><i> install it with just a click. Browse by name, category or specific
</I>>><i> filename*. To help you decide. examine the screenshots and user
</I>>><i> reviews and recommendations. Explore applications in the testing
</I>>><i> repository to participate in the devopment process. Provide your
</I>>><i> feedback to help others. Suggest new applications for inclusion in
</I>>><i> Mageia. Explore and enjoy yourself!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> i think it is perfect. Samuel, what do you think about it? could you add it to
</I>><i> the website?
</I>
'Mageia Application Discovery' is awkward English.
I suggest 'Mageia Application Depot' as a depot is a storehouse.
>><i>
</I>>><i> I woud not use words like "infos" or "app" or "soft" and would avoid
</I>>><i> abbreviations, shorthand and jargon.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Overall, I like the concept and the interface. Great work!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> thanks : )
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> * I suggest this feature as a way to help the user figure out "What
</I>>><i> provides <filename>?" That is often not an easy task as package naming
</I>>><i> conventions are often obtuse and confusing.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> --
</I>>><i> Hoyt

</I>><i>
</I>><i> cheers,
</I>><i> Marcello
