1 Hi, I'm interested in working on a package statistics reporting tool for
2 Gentoo, for GSoC 2011. I've already posted my ideas to the gentoo-soc
3 mailing list. Considering your work on Smolt/Gentoo integration in GSoC
4 2009, I would request some advice. Why'd you choose to extend Smolt rather
5 than writing a new application from scratch ? Would it be a good idea to
6 extend Smolt for adding additional stats for my project (bloat in smolt ?) ?
7 Or should I build a new client/server from scratch (considering smolt still
8 depends on hal for hardware detection) ?
