Hi,
I recently ran in to epiphany web apps, and how gnome-software ships them. I think it'll be really cool to have the different fedora-apps listed in gnome-software too along with the currently present set. I've already submitted a patch that includes Ask Fedora, for example[1]. I was thinking of adding:
- docs.fedoraproject.org - fedora packages - fedora wiki - fedocal - fedora copr - fedora status - fedora tagger - planet fedora - easyfix - koji
What do you think? The one thing here is that we need to have proper icons for these web apps. For Ask Fedora, I've used the Fedora icon, but it'll be a lot better to have individual icons for each item in the list.

How is a bookmark different from a "web app"?
Might want to add a lot more keywords: "help", "support" "community" etc. I would probably leave out "askbot".

To start with, using a bookmark requires one to have the browser already running. This isn't required for web apps. The web apps are listed in the activities view as stand alone applications. Each web app is run as a separate entity, and therefore won't be affected by another epiphany instance crashing. They can be added to the dash too.
The main advantage is improved visibility. You can run a web app by just typing related keywords in the activities view. New users that will go through the application list will see them and it'll increase awareness about the different web applications we use.
They're only limited to epiphany at the moment, though.
I don't expect advanced users to use them much - we already have 100+ tabs open in FF, one more won't hurt. It's more for new users that aren't aware of the apps infra puts up, like the "for users section" at apps.fp.o.

Thanks for the detailed response. It won't hurt advanced users as long as it is clearly visible in GNOME Software that it is a web app
