add an option to review or comment an application

[Victor Vargas]

Binary package hint: software-center

First all, this is a wishlist one, so.. would be very nice if software-center application be able to review/add comments to any application that you selected/installed in your system (maybe using same credentials from Launchpad/OpenID), a behaviour similar to AppStore (from Apple).

Hi Kamus. It's definitely a great idea, and in fact your suggestion is something that's currently in the works. You can track the progress in this blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-ratings-and-reviews-in-software-center

And the feature has been specified in detail in these documents:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#reviewing
https://dev.launchpad.net/SoftwareRatingsAndReviews

Please take a look at these and let us know if this is along the lines of what you were envisioning. Thanks!
