The main view is a user's portal to Maemo software, it's largely fine right now, but not very interesting. It needs a way to draw in new users and get them interested in the software available to them. | The main view is a user's portal to Maemo software, it's largely fine right now, but not very interesting.

One way to make the view more interesting is to add a few buttons over on the right hand side (where the big Application manager icon is right now). Something like, Featured applications (taken from Downloads), Popular applications (also from Downloads), and New applications (since last repository refresh, or maybe new in the last week—the specifics of this one will need consideration). As most of the Featured and Popular applications will reside in Extras (and Extras ships disabled), this would serve as a nice way to introduce new users to Extras by offering to enable it for them when they go to install an application from these lists. | One way to make the view more interesting is to add a few buttons over on the right hand side (where the big Application manager icon is right now).
