in the authoring environment:from a master application template, creating for each of the first one and second one of the plurality of categories at least one application instance having a specified appearance and behavior, wherein the appearance and behavior of each application instance are determined at least in part by characteristics of the associated first one or second one of the plurality of categories; and

associating metadata with each application instance specifying the audience qualifier and category corresponding to the application instance; and

in the distribution environment:storing the application instances associated with the first one and second one of the plurality of categories with the associated metadata;
