I guess the biggest challenge is, if say, I signed up for this today, would I be able to use it as a non-technical user, if there's no pre-prepared apps to install? And even if other developers are supporting your manifest standard, if you have no central app list, how does someone signing up for your service know what apps are available for it, and where they can get them?

We're hoping we can encourage app developers themselves to support Portal as a platform, and if we can, we will include those apps as "Officially Supported" apps.

You're correct that right now it's really only possible for developers to use. That will change quickly as we get officially supported apps. We're working to make at least a few apps that work for non-developers within weeks. Thanks again!
