Hi Boulabiar!

Thanks for bringing this up.

The list of apps like cellwriter/xournal/etc are apps which I would expect to find preinstalled on a touch/pen capable system. I understand that these apps most likely won't make it onto the cd due to space and the small number of people with touch/pen capable hardware. Perhaps we should look to find a way to get these apps either installed directly from the net during installation on touch/pen/based hardware, or pulled in on the first update of a newly installed system?

As for featuring touch friendly software in software-center, this is something that I totally agree with. As I see it, the featured/recommended/what's new sections of software-center all serve the common purpose of featuring software. It makes perfect sense to make full use of this ability. We would need to unify/refactor the code for some of these sections to have a clean way to feature software based on hardware capabilities though.

Thoughts?
