[gentoo-dev] net community servers, in what category?

[Christian Parpart]

Hi all,

I wanted to create some ebuilds for at least one community server (represented 
by a bunch of ebuilds);

So, I was looking for the right category for all of those ebuilds that belong 
to this software, however, I didn't find a proper category for each of them 
at all :(

The software I am talking about is called YaCS (yet another community system) 
and consists of the following parts (that are being split up into seperate 
ebuilds):

dev-libs/libyacsutil 
    - the support library (client/server)
community-libs/libyacs
    - the YaCS core framework library (server)
community-server/yacsd
    - the UNIX daemon process finally serving the community
app-admin/yacsadmin
    - the server console administration tool
app-benchmarks/yb 
    - a server benchmarking tool (think of / like: ab, the apache benchmark)
www-apache/mod_yacs 
    - the apache module that serves as the front-end for the end-users
community-server/yacs-meta
    - the meta package for YaCS, in case everything has to be 
      run on a single server

Now, you see, I already proposed my (in my mind) ideal categories.
The problem are two packages I couldnn't fit into currently existing 
categories.
In fact, we even haven't any community server in portage yet (and there do 
exist quite a few).
So, I might have a little (continuous) brain-dead and though, would like to be 
pointed to the right category for those two packages; otherwise, I'd like to 
propose those two new categories - in that case: who's the karma to initiate 
them?

Other community software I found (*and* are free):
 * boo - http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~malsmith/products/boo/
 * yChat - http://www.ychat.org/
 * SPiN Chat System - http://chat.spin.de/en/ (dunno what kinda license it is)

note: while browsing google, I found lots of commercial software of this 
subject and just a few few (serious) open sourced ones.

So, finally, in what category could those packages be placed in?

Thanks in advance,
Christian Parpart.
