This invitation should have been put in its own thread not squeezed into another thread that turned into a discussion thread.

It is Unity 7 under test. We were supposed to get Unity 7 round about now but I heard that it was delayed until April Fool's day. Who needs google when we have the Dash? I suggest that the Dash be maximized to see the full effect and then enter a search item and see what happens. Click the Filter Results link to see just what is being searched. Expect fireworks, as usual. I think that this will be fantastic for the always on-line, music downloading, e-book reading tablet users.

Regards

apt-get install --fix-policywill offer You to install each and every package You've missed or purged from initial (a bit enlarged) installation... I've found my history of cleaning in that offer... ;)

There are 5 recently created ppa's, 2 populated & 3 not.
I'd guess this one is similar to the staging, haven't used here, probably won't.
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive/daily-build

The other pop. one is the pre-validation for unity7/100 scopes. I do use that but on a dedicated install that I care little about,
This is the one mentioned in the QA test though the intention I thought for user testing was to use the 'certified' ppa which remains empty. There is no expectation here that packages from below work properly yet & to some extent they don't though I'm not always sure how they should work (100 scopes
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive/experimental-prevalidation
certified of ^
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive/experimental-prevalidation

Then there are these 2, currently empty, use of no idea (next unity??

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive/nextSeeing all these "scopes", these will be the first PPAs in quite some time that I will pass in a wide circle being sure that they will haunt me and their contents will find their way of entering my system before I purge them... ;)
I do sincerely hope
I'll escape from scope...

I have Raring installed for testing purposes and I enabled that Unity 7 ppa. Problem is that I don't see wher you control the lenses? Has that part not finished yet?

The scopes are 'controlled' from the Home Scope via the Filter results. Atm as a user you can control Categories pretty easy, the Sources get enabled/disabled based on search terms.
Results from searches can be useful or totally useless, gather that's a work in progress.
(for instance with the Reference cat. I get results from Gallica which are useless here as I don't read french.
Many of the source scopes don't work or work poorly, as does the right click on a search result in many cases

(at some point a thread about unity7/scopes would be better

Thanks mc4man (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=320715). I thought Canonical would of made a tab in privacy for controlling the Scopes and Lenses, not use the Unity Home Lens.
