Reviewing applications directly in mintinstall
In Edit->Preferences, the user should be able to input his email address (login) and password. A "check credentials" button should tell him if these are correct.
A review button should be visible. If the credentials aren't there or are incorrect, the button should be greyed out with a tooltip telling the user that he needs to take action to input them in the preferences.
When the review button is pressed, the user should be able to give a review and a rating on a scale from 1 to 5.
mintInstall should then communicate with a web server page which would check the credentials and record the review. A response should be given to mintinstall to indicate to the user whether the review was successfully taken into account or not.
The user should be told that reviews don't get updated straight away and that the particular review was recorded by the system.
Option 1: If possible, the user should be able to register an account from mintinstall.
Option 2: If possible, mintinstall should keep track of the number of installations/

re: option 2: this is irrelevant to the reviews aspect of mintInstall, but I like the rest of the idea, perhaps the authentication could be solved by allowing anonymous reviews, which should work well, and can be easily disabled if abused. -- emorrp1
Postponed to Mint 9.
There is already some bad language in the reviews, allowing anonymous reviews may just degenerate into a YouTube-comment situation. Menu->Preferenc
