The FAQ said you should post to this list if you have an idea for how
the UI should work for installing multiple packages at once. I have such
an idea.
My idea involves more changes to yum or whatever is running beneath
package kit than package kit itself.
It would work like this:
1) When the user clicks a package, it begins installing immediately (as
it does now).
2) The user can still browse for more packages while the package is
downloading (this is the major change: write operations shouldn't block
read only operations in the underlying package manager).
3) When the user clicks another package, it gets added to the task queue
