Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Corey Taylor and I am CS major at UMASS Boston. I've been very interested for awhile now in making my contribution to Free Software. Thankfully I'm finally acquiring the programming skills that I need to make a valuable conrtibution. First, I'd like to say that Gentoo is the best distribution I've used so far. Since I like it so much I'd like to give something back by attempting to develop a GUI front-end for Portage. Or if there is already a similar project underway, I'm more than willing to jump in and help out. Either way I'd like to work on creating a GUI front-end for Portage. I love the command line utils, but I think Gentoo could be more attractive if we had the option of using a GUI to administer the software on our systems. If there is already a project of this nature underway, can someone please refer me to the correct people to contact. If there isn't, I am willing to take the initiative to get this thing going. I've got some extra time this summer so now is an ideal time for me to do this. If anyone is interested in helping me out with code, advice, links, whatever. Email me at coreytaylor@serviceasap.ca. Thanks all. Corey
