Idea #13762: Show off new programs in the repositories

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 7 July 11. Available starting Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
Written by Ubuwu the 27 Sep 08 at 00:08. Related project: Add/Remove program dialog. Status: Implemented
Rationale
Every release lots of new programs get added to the repositories. A lot of these go unnoticed to most users. Please make a webpage that shows off all new programs that are added, either when they are added in the development release or all at once at release time. This should include screenshots, a short description/review and an apturl link to easily install the program.

A basic version of this could even be produced by an automated program. A more advanced version including reviews would require more effort.

There could also be a "new in repos" button in add/remove

I subscribe to Debian Package Of The Day for this - http://debaday.debian.net/

Debaday has a lot of technical, commandline only stuff, I would mainly like a summary of all the GUI programs, i.e. those that appear in add/remove programs.

Theres a 'new in repository' tickbox in the filters screen

I believe you can just set up a filter to show this
