Re: [Trisquel-users] Helping new users choose application software

[rhutter]

Coming back to the original posting: Actually a merge of the "Software  
Center" (Add/Remove Apps) and Synaptic would be good. The way it is now a new  
user might stick to the Software Center and not even notice the single  
packages in Synaptic that add new features to many programs. Those single  
packages can be really important, like language packs and email plugins.  
Synaptic alone, in turn, is not so easy to understand for newbies.
So, i guess the best would be one program instead of two (isn't reducing  
redundancy a goal in itself?) with two different levels: One where to find  
basic programs in their basic edition, and the second one with additional  
stuff for those programs and less popular programs.
Then even a third level would make sense, with a note like: This section  
contains a lot of packages that are in development and is recommended to very  
experienced users.
