Ok this  will be my next step on coding, I will try to make is good
enough to be upstream on apt-portal,

Most of them are only one line description and sure can be used as
short description for lists but I thing they are poor for fill an the
detailed app description, nevertheless we can use them as
initialization of description when app is added to the showroom, one
line is better than nothing, both bd and code seems clear an easy
enough to implement this in the specific Neo showroom app :)

To check if I understand it well(using shr as example)
souce -> ipkg repository
binary->ipkg package
application->description+image+package/s
related+[opt]video+[opt]comments+[opt]opt votes piece of showroom for
an specific software application

Setting up a ssh+svn +webdav on the server(yes we have it :) )  to
allow this I will grant ssh+svn access to anyone interested in
participate, and allow anonymous checkout , after this I wil set up a
webserver with two sites one will be the stable/release of the
showroom  and other using directly the developing version from that
svn of course the devel version will be first available :)

I'm really noob in all that matters but I hope to have the
ssh+svn+webdab setup this night
