{*} '''Q:''' '''Now that the [[http://developer.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/downloadonubuntubutton.png|button image]] 404s, what should users use instead? '''

{*} '''A:'''

{*} '''Q:''' '''Now that all content on [[https://apps.ubuntu.com/|apps.ubuntu.com]] is gone and replaced with redirects to snapcraft.io, what is the future of the App Promotion initiative and what should users link to instead of apps.ubuntu.com? '''

{*} '''A:'''

In order to promote the use of the Ubuntu Software Center among users, and to promote upstream applications among Ubuntu users, we are beginning a campaign to get "Download for Ubuntu" buttons on the Download pages of upstream websites.

http://developer.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/downloadonubuntubutton.png

Below is a list of the top 100 applications in the Software Center. Pick one and contact the upstream developers with the provided HTML snippet. Explain what it will do, and that it will help make their application easier to install for Ubuntu users. Be sure to put your name in the last column so that others know you are working on it, and remove the row once you know the button has been added.

The developer says the package comes in default Ubuntu installation. Putting up the button would be unfair with the other distros, he says.

One developer agreed, I changed the wiki but then another developer said that he doesn't want to advertise one distribution particularly and if they would it will be Kubuntu in this case. They did agree to add apt:// link on site. One more reason was that non-Ubuntu users won't press on the button anyway because it says "Download for Ubuntu". They agreed to talk on this subject with the others members.

Version shipped in Ubuntu's repos is too old and has bugs that give a bad experience to the user

without PPA support, we will only motivate people to install an outdated version of darktable

FAQ

Ubuntu Q: Why link to https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/<myapp> when we could directly link to apt://<myapp>?

Ubuntu A: We recommend to link to apps.ubuntu.com mainly because non-Ubuntu users won't be able to load an apt URL. It also means that we can show people the ratings and reviews and other potential features for non-Ubuntu users.

Ubuntu Q: Will this image change in the (close) future? (for example: new design; dynamic image for i10n; etc...) Because at the moment it links to a (non dynamic) image from an upload wordpress folder, and future changes will mean, with the current link, must contact again every project site.

Ubuntu A: #TODO : what to answer if the contact from the project ask us this?

Ubuntu Q: Now that the button image 404s, what should users use instead?

Ubuntu A:

Ubuntu Q: Now that all content on apps.ubuntu.com is gone and replaced with redirects to snapcraft.io, what is the future of the App Promotion initiative and what should users link to instead of apps.ubuntu.com?
