Our goal is to build an advanced application installer. It is able to interact with users. For example, users would be able to express their favor or disfavour to some certain software, and users' estimation determine whether the application installer lists some certain software. Users can add software or remove software via GUI, or by writting extensions.
Existing application installer is not customizable. Users cannot add items freely.
Our goal is to build a ''customizable'' application installer. For example, users can add comment for software. Software introduction can be changed. New software items can be added. Existing software items can be removed. Under the user's permission, the changes to the software items can be uploaded to a web service on google app-engine, therefore other users will obtain a benefit by downloading the changes. This application installer supports extensions. Users can add their own function.
