Whiteboard

Automating PPA key downloading when users add a PPA url.

Have some sort of tagging for applications to make them more searchable in addition to package descriptions. Especially consider the use case of someone searching for the "equivalent of program foo" when the replacement program doesn't refer to foo specifically.

Much of this is planned to be implemented as part of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/software-library . --mpt
