Well, I cannot easily answer if anybody is doing what you intend to, beca= use I=20 did not completely understand what kind of configurator you are talking=20 about: 1. Do you want to create a gui configurator for make.conf (say to set USE= =20 flags, and other values)? Then the answer is - partially yes. Please take a look at bugs #2748 & #2= 846.=20 Please also take a look at the tools available in gentoolkit. You will=20 probably want as well to do a search on bugs.gentoo.org for certain keywo= rds=20 that would make sence to you. Do you want to create a gui wrapper for emerge? Try looking in your portage tree for what's available. kportagemaster com= es to=20 mind. One of the tools in those two bugs I mentioned above is also somewh= at=20 relevant. Generally, if you could formulate the concept of the tool you are looking= =20 into, that would help to identify related projects. Then you would probab= ly=20 want to post this description/proposal here *and* create a new bug descri= bing=20 what you intend to do and proposing your help. Also, for a real-time chat= =20 with core devs you can always get us on channel #gentoo at=20 irc.openprojects.net. And great thanks for taking your time to make gentoo even better! George
