[DG: Open Forum] Open Source "App Store" or "App Catalog" Software

[Matthew Jones]

addons.mozilla.org has an open source backend called Remora.

<https://wiki.mozilla.org/AMO:Developers>I'm not sure how much work it would
take to set it up, or what modifications would be needs but it sounds like
it has most of what you're looking for.

The code behind rubygems.org is also available, though this doesn't appear
to have user ratings.

The software behind opensourcerails.com is nice too, this might be the
simplest out of the bunch.

Probably some others, just my 5 minutes of googling.
