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. :)
