I don't think it's critical to the project at all, for it to be useful=20 to Gentoo developers. As a dev myself, I typically avoid things that=20 require me to go to websites because it just takes longer. I use CLI=20 interfaces to bugzilla, I read mailing lists and use text editors in a=20 terminal, etc. I'd like a simple CLI tool that just goes and grabs me the info about a=20 given package, or shows me overall rankings for certain sets of packages=20 (depending on specified queries). Perhaps a web-service (using REST or=20 SOAP) would be more interesting to implement than an actual UI. Then=20 anyone could tack a web-based UI on later. Sure, a webapp might be nice for users, and perhaps for a few devs, but=20 you could definitely propose a complete project without it. --=20 Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Admin, Summer of Code Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.com --2B/JsCI69OhZNC5r Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk2J+nEACgkQXVaO67S1rtv2iwCgxbj4B2Dzg3XwkiKGDYv6rBeV Na4AoLuAWg25ZywGAYT1Y/AZuwQZRQXl =Cf2d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2B/JsCI69OhZNC5r--
