As a longer term goal, I'd agree with this. I'm thinking of writing an app and a scope for BoardgameGeek. I would think that some people would more want the app if they are heavier BGG users, and others the scope if they are more casual users who want to quickly search for a game, so from my point of view I'd want to have it listed as both. Currently I think my best options is to have BoardgameGeek, an app, and BoardgameGeek Search, as scope, as seperate packages so they remain as discrete, searchable entities. I understand that this may not be easily done in the short-term, but I think its value should at least be discussed for inclusion in the future roadmap.

I think the store should indicate (maybe with icons in the listing) whether a click package provides an app or a scope. For example, Telegram seems to be a perfectly symbiotic pair, but I really would have appreciated knowing that there was a scope beforehand. In addition, there are a large number of completely worthless webapps and there are sure to be an equally dubious number of RSS scopes in the near future. It'd be nice to see when an official app came with a scope so that I could look into curating any standalone unofficial scopes that were locally installed. -- Nathan Haines Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com/ -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
