What can I get?
Here's something cool on the web
What do I have?
Automatic Updating
What's wrong?
Repo management
Problems
- Artificial separation of searching ("what can I get") vs. managing ("what do I have") due to performance characteristics of update sites (long download times).
- High click count to find new content or add new content found on web
- Repo management part of basic workflows
- No way to find something by name
- Presentation of detail that user didn't understand (error messages referencing software user didn't know about)
- No ability to retarget UI (dialog vs. preference page) - "All or Nothing" implementation
