Thanks for the update. The url for the bug for the catalog
branding points to a live.tasktop.com domain. Can you please
update with the appropriate bugzilla url.
Thanks

Hi list,
i just wanted to do a quick overview of what's going on in
MPC and what is on our plan:
Tags are almost done and in the final steps before merging.
This means that every marketplace can now return tags for each
node (see xsd for the format) in order to provide tags to the
user. Once a user clicks on a tag in the UI, he'll immediately
see the search results for this tag [1].
Me and Nathan is currently working on defining the API
and implementation to retrieve the marketplaces from a central
place instead of hardcoding them into the plugin.xml. This makes
it easier to add new marketplaces on the fly. This will not
deprecate the existing extension point but will act as addition
to it[].
Also some initial thoughts were posted on bug [3] in how to
let the marketplaces brand the existing MPC UI to better support
our users. This is a great oppuertunity for interested parties
to provide feedback and ideas.
Currently I'm working getting MPC to run on 3.7 (MPC
referenced p2 classes that got moved) and it looks like we can
release support for 3.7 beginning of next week[4].
In addition, I posted a mockup of how we could integrate the
marketplaces into the main MPC wizard page to allow people to
quickly switch between marketplaces without the need to switch
to another wizard page. Again, now it's time for feedback :)
