[gentoo-dev] Summary and future of Gentoo stats server/client

[Sebastian Pipping]

Hello again!


Today 19:00 UTC is "firm pencils down" for Gentoo Google Summer of Code.
 That means ..

  we enter the phase where you should *join me* with development.


Looking at

  http://soc.gentooexperimental.org/projects/stats/issues

there is a more work to do (and will always be), both Gentoo-specific
stuff, as well as cross-distro free software domination stuff.  To name
a few:

 - Paludis support
 - Generation of graphs
 - PackageMap integration

Especially in the end I had to focus on really essential stuff,
otherwise there would be no test instance running to try out by now.
However, we did move from  we-really-should-have-stats  to
fork-yeah-we-have-stats.


A quick-export of the documentation with overview on deliverables is
currently up here:

  http://www.hartwork.org/gsoc2009/gentoo_gsoc_2009.html

(The containing folder is served with index purposely.)

So:
  - Yes, there is more work to do
  - No, I will not run and stop working on it
  - Yes, I will get back to the ebuild quizes
  - Yes, I will keep pushing Smolt and PackageMap


Last but not least there are a few people that I would like to say
"thanks" to (in hopefully alphabetic order):
