Hi mmiicc! Thanks a lot for your comments. Indeed, I had not noticed that part of the spec that you pointed out about the list view including installed items. And yes, the "tiles" are simply not yet implemented.
I would like to make a "Ubuntu Software Center Specification Gap" document that tries to capture all of the little details that don't match between the spec and the actual implementation. One of the difficulties here is that the spec is, in a way, an often-changing "roadmap" to a final destination that we are always trying to reach. The "tiles" instead of a list is a good example of this, in that we have simply not had the chance to do this development/implementation yet. But the smaller details such as the one you pointed out often become bug reports, and that's how we capture/track these sorts of gaps. Thank you for your comment about not ignoring bug reports! It's very gratifying to hear this because we, as a team, always regret that we feel woefully under-responsive to reports and we are working hard to fix that. The challenge is that we are a very small team and the bug flow is quite large as Software Center is used constantly by many, many people. Bug triage is just part of our work as we also have our new development targets each cycle and, of course, that takes up a lot of our time. That said, we consider responsive bug attention and triage extremely important because we appreciate and rely so heavily on the generous help that bug reporters bring to our project. So, if a reporter feels that we are ignoring their report, that is a very terrible thing to us, and we are committed to never let that happen. If you ever feel that we are not responding in a timely manner to a bug you've submitted, please don't hesitate to simply drop me a note by email and let me know!! Thank you again for all of your good work and your help!! It is most definitely appreciated!
