Hi,

hope it's not too late. I was away for a few days.

Let me try the summary:
Collagen is an automated build system for Gentoo aiming to create
database of package metadata, content and other information. This
database can be queried through web frontend built on top of Django
framework. Because of this, Collagen is database agnostic. As such
it also provides features to improve quality of Gentoo ebuilds by
testing different combinations of package dependencies. Collagen
still needs a lot of testing and polishing, but it already found
some faulty ebuilds. I also have a few ideas for future improvements
that I didn't include for now.

It is currently not deployed anywhere on Gentoo infrastructure, but
I plan to negotiate some testing machine where a lot of compilations
would not disturb normal operations :-) 

Enjoy your day/evening/night,
