Written by Ubuwu the 28 Feb 08 at 17:37. Not an idea
Expansion of Add Remove Programs - show user-provided descriptions, feature lists, screenshots, comments, ratings, integration with launchpad. Initial page should be top-rated apps, or newest apps. Managed by a webapp?

Or... leave it as it is, but create a website displaying all the great software available for ubuntu including all the features mentioned above with apturl links to install.

From #4613 (merged):

It should be indicated how much I'll have to download to install something.

We have download limits here and well... quite often I exceed them. It would be useful to indicate how big the download is going to be.

Developer comments
Thanks for your contribution. This is really several separate ideas which would be implemented at different times, so it would be better to track them individually.

User-provided descriptions and feature lists: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17929/
Screenshots: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/15774/
Comments: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserReviewsInSynaptic
Ratings: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18729/
Integration with launchpad: It’s not obvious why users would be interested in this. It seems more like a way of implementing some other feature (such as reviews).

Solution #1: Auto-generated solution of idea #103
Written by Ubuwu the 28 Feb 08 at 17:37.
Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #103 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

Solution #2: Link program and its extensions together
Written by tommis the 24 Jan 10 at 17:08.
If you are looking example firefox "add/remove programs" page you would see its extensions like adb and web develober extensions.
