Hi Walter,

whilst Lubuntu Software Center is deemed as 'it will carry on' the re-write and enhancement for LXQt progresses. With Jorn doing the coding and Rafael looking after the 'look and feel' I'm betting on it being very good :) They discussed adding some tweaks such as the ability to add an PPA via it mainly because lubuntu users are devils for tweaking their install etc.

Hopefully, one of them will reply to this thread with a status update.

Regards,

Phill.

Thanks to Simon Quigley (tsimonq2), I was watching a recent Linux Action Show and they mentioned this nice user-friendly alternative to the Ubuntu Software Center called [AppGrid][1]. It's built from the ground up and focused on speed in Python. That's about all I know about it, but I'm thinking that there may be some benefit to consider hacking this to use a limited set of packages and making it ours? I can see it's using GTK+, so there's that to worry about it, too, but that may or may not be easy. Just passing it on if it's of interest to anyone. :)
