I've been doing research on this project for sometime, and would really |
| 2 |
like my ideas to be reviewed by the community before submitting my application. |

* User runs a script as a cronjob (or a portage hook ?), which collects |
| 5 |
stats on installed packages, and uploads to the online database. Surprisingly |
| 6 |
easy to code using the gentoolkit API. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
* Webapp generates statistics on the packages (top packages, versions, |
| 9 |
popularity, packages from overlays). Thanks to ideas from an old thread on |
| 10 |
the forums. Devs, please suggest some more useful ideas/stats too. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* Dev/user runs a cli script to read stats or a gui program to display |
| 13 |
graphs. |

I'm looking forward to coding the project in Python, gui using PyGTK, |
| 16 |
database using MySQL. For the web service implementation, should I use |
| 17 |
SOAP (soappy, which I'll need to learn) or something like web.py (I've |
| 18 |
used it earlier) ? |
| 19 |

It was also suggested earlier to allow a dev to trigger a popup feedback |
| 21 |
from the user. I think that would require the user ro run a daemon, which |
| 22 |
will listen for queries. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Please suggest what details to include and what not to include in the |
| 25 |
application. |
