Bug Description
= Proposed Change =
Land the Lens that delivers commercial content into the Dash.
= New Package =
unity-lens-shopping
= Effects on Ubuntu =
The feature is packaged up as a Unity Lens and is visible when the user does a global search from the Dash home screen and there are matching suggestions to show. These suggestions show in a new category called 'More suggestions', which is only visible after searching the Dash home screen.
It communicates with a U1 server for it's data. This feature doesn't alter any of the other behaviours in Unity, it's completely isolated.
If there are any issues we can a) remove the package or b) disable the server, and in both cases the users will not see any difference from the standard experience.
= Translations =
Package has six translatable strings.
This is a sabdfl driven project, apologies for being late.

So I understand that this is a request for a new package, unity-lens- shopping, to be added to the archive and then to be seeded. Here's what I see that you need.
- A willing archive admin to do NEW review /wiki.ubuntu. com/MainInclusi onProcess)
- Main Inclusion Request (https:/
- Once these two are granted, a corresponding change to the seeds (or a Recommends from unity) to pull it in by default.
When can you do the initial upload? This (and NEWing) does not need to block on the main inclusion. I'd prefer it to be done as soon as possible.
Since this is a Mark decision, it doesn't need my approval, but please liaise with the docs team for the UIFe before proceeding.
