I too am not comfortable with "Software Center", partly because it will in all likelyhood have non-software in it, like themes, but to a UK person the word "Center" makes me flinch. I don't like "Store" because it inclines me towards thinking it's a for-profit venture, and I guess that's because the word 'store' is now tainted by all the proprietary software repos out there that have previously been listed. I'd be more inclined to like something that took the ethos of Ubuntu, and the generic nature of what goes in the repository. Something _like_ "Package Bazar". Given we already have a concept of 'packages' in Ubuntu, I'd guess it's easily translatable. The term 'Bazar' has historical and community influences which are overall positive. I don't particularly _like_ "Package" but I think it's better than "Software" and whilst the term 'package' needs to be explained before many will 'get it' I don't think it's that much of a stretch for people to think of 'packages' of software coming from the 'bazar'. Just my 2p. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
