Status: Idea
Summary of idea:
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.
Ailurus is a simple application installer [1]. It helps install popular applications easily. Our work is to write code for Ailurus.
