And here for some off-topic: I started on writing a little document about Portage for myself, containing the most often heard proposals (like a database backend, p2p/bittorrent support etc.) and concerns (security, naming conflicts). If anyone else would find this useful (also I'm pretty sure Nick has most of the stuff already somewhere on his agenda), I could "polish" it and but it up on the new Wiki (Zach?). I don't really know if this could be useful for anybody, but if you think so let me know.
