No, it is no longer planned.

Is this still planned? Comment #7 has been around for more than a year now.

USC5 shows Top Rated applications, both overall and in individual categories. It also lets you sort search results by rating. Sorting by actual popularity, as in which things are installed by more people, is planned for the next major update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 Title: Software store should display popularity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/432525/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A large database of the applications sorted by popularity are available on http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ Why you don't use it?

Rating and reviews has been implemented into software-center however there is no way to sort by popularity which makes it hard to quickly sort the good from the average. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 Title: Software store should display popularity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 432525] Re: Software store should display popularity
For 2.0 we are (hopefully) adding ratings and reviews, which is probably a bit more important than popularity, because it can help identify great but lesser-known software. (That OpenOffice.org is popular doesn't necessarily mean people like it that much.) Once we've got that implemented thoroughly, we'll look at showing popularity separately. In the meantime, if you're interested in hacking on Launchpad, you could help out by fixing 139855 -- because one prerequisite for doing it well will be to show popularity for PPAs, not just for items in the Ubuntu repositories. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Milestone: None = later ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium = Wishlist -- Software store should display popularity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 432525] Re: Software store should display popularity
IMHO, the David Roman suggestions (a popularity sort, a voting and reviewing system) are essential to make the software-center more user friendly and to aggregate more value to it. -- Software store should display popularity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 432525] Re: Software store should display popularity
We should do it like the Android Market does. When you select an application you have its overall votes (1-5 stars) plus the latest user reviews, preferably in the user's language. Also, if you have installed the app it lets you vote for it as well as write a review. As Roman says, the reviews could be stored in Launchpad, separated by language. -- Software store should display popularity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 432525] Re: Software store should display popularity
I would recommend not just voting but voting plus reviews( amazon.com style), possibly using launchpad to store the reviews. Plus make it easy to submit reviews(to be moderator approved) through the software store. Plus possibly sorting based on voting (such as top average score of all time and of last month) -- Software store should display popularity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
