There is a wealth of information online about how to market apps that also applies to the Ubuntu Software Center. Some examples that are not bad after a few minutes searching are:

looking at the app in the Software Center catalogue, you'll see that Sukaro is only available in Ubuntu 11.10, which is the current stable release.
If you want it to be available in other Ubuntu versions, I would recommend testing that the app works in all versions and then add a comment in My Apps requesting it to be packaged for the Ubuntu versions you'd ...

It's a basic tutorial, but I hope you'll find it usefull

Hope my answer comes on time, I just tested and you can use PyDev from eclipse.
Basically you need first to create your quickly application as shown in the examples, then create a project in eclipse with PyDev (I used the same name) then import the complete folder created from quickly into the new eclipse project and open the .py in the bin folder, that ...

I believe one of the most popular frameworks to work with CORBA in Linux was Bonobo, but as you can see from the link, it's been deprecated for a while in the Linux desktop in favour of D-Bus, so you might want to start looking into that instead.
Other than that, there are a couple of CORBA on Linux guides on the net, but seem to be quite old:
CORBA, C++ ...

The ARB team is still doing their best to optimize their work, as they are aware of the fact that the reviews take lots of time, and very often it discourages developers. Though as the tools (e.g. MyApps portal) are now more or less ready, I expect things to speed up a bit. However, it is still likely that the process may take several weeks or even months.

Publishing your Lens in the Software Centre would be the best bet. There isn't a dedicated section for Lenses at this time, but that seems like the sort of things that would change in the future.

I'll also point you to Uploading your app.
Ideally, you should submit a Debian source package. A Debian source package consists of 3 files (with extensions .dsc, diff.gz, orig.tar.gz), which you should put in a compressed archive (a tarball, zip file, rar...) and upload into My Apps. This will allow reviewers to easily test and publish your app.
However, ...

See Uploading your app.
Ideally you should submit a .deb package. For commercial applications you can alternatively submit a .tar.gz with source code or a binary, or specify a PPA for free software.

The fractured Linux audio landscape is basically a myth nowadays. All sound technologies on Ubuntu that have not been deprecated or dead for six years are complementary. To paraphrase Lennart Poettering with slight updates and an Ubuntu app-developer perspective:
I want to write a media-player-like application!
Use GStreamer!
I want to ...

Definitely. If you are an app author who has submitted an application to the Software Centre through the My Apps web interface on the Ubuntu App Developer Site, you can distribute updates following this easy process:

It seems you just give it the name of the file in your data/media directory.
For example, if you want data/media/foo.png, you just call get_media_file('foo.png'). This will return a file:/// URI of the absolute path to foo.png.

Tell me if by 'latest' you don't mean the one that ships with 11.10, but this is how to use the function here:
>>> from hello_lib.helpers import get_media_file
>>> get_media_file("hello.svg")
file:////home/stefano/hello/data/media/hello.svg
"hello.svg" can be any fragment of a path (like ../media/hello.svg or stuff/hello.svg). I.e. ...

Unfortunately, you will not find a friendly document for that. The global menu was developed with GTK and Qt in mind and, while it is theoretically possible to implement support for other webkits since the protocol is DBus-based, there was very little effort in making documentation available.
The best pointers I can give you are the source codes of ...

The answer: Yes.
Ubuntu is an operating system, just like Windows, and just like you can create open source software on Windows, you can create closed (and open) software on Ubuntu - just because the operating system is open sourced doesn't mean everything is open sourced.
While selling it isn't really your question, it is indeed possible to sell ...

There are two "queues" ARB and "commercial/paid". For both the review pending stage takes the longest. This is where the submission is made into a package. If you submitted debian package source (the output of dpkg-buildpackage -S) then this stage will take a very short time. If you didn't follow instructions and submitted a binary deb the process takes MUCH ...

The Unity.Activation interface was dropped as of Unity 4 (Ubuntu 11.10). Instead you can hook into the activation callback using signals like this:
scope.activate_uri.connect(on_uri_activated);
If you are not overriding the activation handling, you probably only need remove Unity.Activation and recompile.

A good starting point for app development with quickly and python is here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/all/diy-media-player-with-pygtk/
In general, you can see how quickly handles other .ui files in your code in the lines
from test.AboutTestDialog import AboutTestDialog
from test.PreferencesTestDialog import PreferencesTestDialog
