There is a balance here. For everything I have to pull from there is a
cost in terms of calls I have to make to different backends per page
along with the extra work to recreate the GUI for each module. The
different backends are taking a tools centric approach to manipulating
data where as My Fedora takes a more data centric approach (here is the
data how would I like to manipulate and display). I agree the data side
In other words, instead of calling interfaces provided by these
backends (which is, obviously, more costly) , MyFedora will be
directly access the databases and manipulate the data to be in a more
user-centric and useful views (am I right?).
of it should be part of PackageDB but unless someone really wants
to
work on a separate PackageDB UI I would just have that be a simple dump
of the database in a slightly nicer form.
In any case my thoughts on the subject are logged somewhere else in the
thread where I talk about Apps vs. Packages and how a separate app would
look different from a My Fedora app. Read there.
I couldnt find the thread, is it in this list or another list?. iirc
i've read it before. an App may have multiple Packages.
