I think coming up with the overall name will inform how we name the various processes and components that make up this. An example would be if the overall name to end users was called "Extras", then for the developer uploading their source it might be called "Extras Source Repositories".

David, I think you're getting at the heart of the issue here, which is the end user perspective. Community contributed applications will probably always be separate from core apps and even apps downloaded from a vender specific app store like AppUp or OVI. It would be nice if these were all integrated into one installer/manager, but I doubt this will ever happen. Thus the need to clearly distinguish between them. > Oh, and this as yet un-named "like a working group but called not a working > group" is highly unlikely to have anything to do with the actual "people > downloading apps, music, videos, etc..." instead it's all the surrounding > stuff > that frankly, we don't want end-users stumbling into by mistake. Hence > "Surrounds". I think "Surrounds" works better then "Downloads" because of the above. But there are other possibilities as well. "Extras" and "Addons" speak to the nature of what these are for a device, at least for me. Any other names floating out there?
