OK got initial app store committed to head. Going to do an end-to-end install test next, hopefully I committed everything I was supposed to.

The app store looks really sharp. It actually references a local js manifest as opposed to an external one. I did upload the images of the app store to a google code project so as not to weigh down the openchurch download.

Also regarding the manifest, ideally I would like to version the manifest just like I do everything else so that I know that the manifest is versioned just like everything else which I think will help compatibility.

Did a fresh install and it works! Still need more testing but this is looking really good.

I am trying to find information on how the App Store is going to be used. What is the plan here? Not trying to stop you just curious.

I have the current core app store in dev that you can test. All OC core features will be in the app store and I am going to move the demo content to the app page for each app as well in the future.

The idea is that other people will be able to create their own app stores to supplement OC functionality. For instance Open Parish is going to be a set of modules that supplement OC. I am hopeful that he is on board with the apps-approach bc it means that he would just need to bundle his modules as apps.

I might include the store info hook by default just so that people will be aware of the stores that are available other than OC. But that is basically the extent of the official 'OC' support. When you hover over apps it will give you a dropdown of all of the app stores. Only the OC store will have all of the modules downloaded and installed by default. The others will be 'downloadables' that allows people to download additional functionality without having to bake everything into OC core.

Does that make sense? And so in the future it would be great if we had a bunch of apps available to end users where they could find and download them easily from the Apps UI as opposed to hunting around on d.o.. Also in general you would expect that these are probably more compatible since the app-owners are specifically exposing them to OpenChurch.
