About the end users:

Target group of the ShowCase application are End Users. It will be a
kind of Gambas3 software center for Gambas3 applications that can be
easily installed (like click a button and provide a password and yes it
installs). And it will be mainly for Orca, but will be used in GambOS as
well. And Orca aims at end users and so does ShowCase.

But I'm thinking about a SourceCase as well (ShowCase spin off), that
does the same but with source packages to be downloaded instead of
applications installed. That would be aimed at developers and be a of
good use pre installed on GambOS.

But both GambOS and ShowCase are in Alpha stage so the SourceCase might
have to wait for a while...
