1 I have not heard about any plans for a graphical instller or portage forntend.
2 I am interested in developing an ncurses based installer/portage frontend. I just wanted to make sure there was not already a project in place before i got too involved in mine.

4 I know this isn't a support list, but does anyone know of a good source for ncurces support. I've read a couple howtos and i think i'm doing everything right, however I'm screwing something up.

6 Also, where can I find good guidelines for programming/commenting style? Should i just read gentoo code or is there some specific, auhoritative guide?
7
8 One last question, I'm finding classes to be impractical for my installer since the process is fairly linear and no true objects seem to exist. Is this a bad move, or is a well-organized function based approach acceptable?
