Indeed. And development is pointless without users (although most developers in open source circles are also their own user).

However, at the moment I don't think the potential side-effects of the split focus are worth the long-term benefits of ditching the current ApplicationCatalog. When there are more than the 26 currently installable applications by end-users[1], then yes. But the wiki's got a way to scale yet...

[1] And 9 of these are terminal-based apps, which probably aren't usable by non-technical end-users.
