I'm aware that some of my packages could use a stablereq, but since I don't run any stable machines at the moment it just never bothers me. > Well it would be something like priority based queue with maximum 60 > points value. >=20 > So do you thing it is possible to write such web app/ do you know if > anyone would be able to write so?

Maybe we should agree on some standards for such webapps so that they are easy to support - what languages / toolkits / frameworks does infra support / tolerate ? - what data exchange formats can we define? There's things like packages.g.o that already do parts of it, there's euscan and other tools. Can we maybe unify that a bit? - how do we coordinate people that want to help out? For now I'll not be the one trying to carry such things forward, there's enough other distractions for me at the moment. But I see what can be done and think "that'd be, like, awesome" :) Patrick
