Have some fun with this! Robert and the rest of the desktop team would love to get feedback and bugs.

If you're interested in playing around / helping out: - I've set up a ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software [2] for which currently holds PackageKit 1.0 and GNOME Software with some patches to support the Ubuntu review server. Installing this will boot out software-center / aptdaemon. - We're blocked from pushing this directly to the Xenial archive [3] - but we hope to have some progress on that soon. - The GNOME software work is being done upstream in GNOME git. It should be upstreamable. - Please file bugs against the gnome-software package [4] - I'm still working on the Ubuntu One support for posting reviews - ideally this would use libaccounts but that doesn't seem to be working in desktop Ubuntu anymore. Any help here would be appreciated. Plan B is to put the account signup UI in GNOME Software (not too hard, but would be nicer to use the proper services). - I've tagged some bugs on things that need working on [5]. - The appstream data is being worked on - I'll let Iain Lane update about that.
