Indeed! You are not the only one who thinks that with this kind of
market we would make GNOME more successful and also more easy to start
contributing to.

The main issue here it would be from the IT part, having the required
servers and bandwidth needed to run it can be really pricey, but doesn't
mean that we shouldn't go ask to Mozilla if their add-ons website is
free software and thus be able to use it for the GNOME one, built our
own, start testing it, ask designers to come up with great mockups, etc
etc

Actually I'm really interested on this and maybe a good item to add to
GNOME Foundation's agenda for the next IRC meeting. Would you mind to
resend this proposal to gnome-foundation mailinglist?

Cheers,
