Hi,
When installing new apps I find myself searching on packages.debian.org
and then look at changelogs descriptions and maybe go to the site where
the development to read something about the app and then finally do an
apt-install or I run synaptic.
I think it would be fantastic if the whole thing including installation
would be completely web based. I.e you install the packages by clicking
on a link on the webpage.
Advantages are:
* Just one simple interface taking care of the searching / browsing /
selection and installing
* It is extremely user friendly
* Maintainer can very easily update information/documentation
It's a bit like running apt inside your browser.
Are people working on this?
I dunno if they are, but this capability exits already, with a plug-in for
Webmin.
