that's because I've made enough experience with people who steals ideas. |

what do you mean with "access"? SSH or FTP? Or simply an uri to the |
| 18 |
project to look at it? |
| 19 |
At this time, we are planning on it. We don't have something you could |
| 20 |
look at. |

Okay, then I'll explain, what we want to do and what we have done until |
| 29 |
now. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Daniel and me, Alex, got the idea of a database which contains merge times |
| 32 |
of all currently available (unmasked) gentoo packages for x86 |
| 33 |
architecture. |
| 34 |
To realize this, we'll have a dedicated machine for just emerging all |
| 35 |
packages (and which is just now merging...*g*). |
| 36 |
The time it takes on this machine will be the standard and will be |
| 37 |
multiplied with the value calculated by a client, which has information |
| 38 |
about the users hardware. This way we will be able to give the people a |
| 39 |
clue of how long it would take to emerge certain packages on their own |
| 40 |
machine. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
With this idea and also the idea behind the two projects on |
| 43 |
stats.gentoo.org and www.mksoft.co.il/gentoo-stats/, we want to provide a |
| 44 |
service which is IMHO very informative and usefull. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
What we have until now is surely the idea and the knowledge to code the |
| 47 |
needed stuff (client-side-script and web-interface). But we don't want to |
| 48 |
jump into the cold water, coding all the stuff without any official |
| 49 |
support from gentoo.org, because that makes no sense. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
So, that's the actual state. |
| 52 |
if we'll be allowed to use the official design of gentoo.org and, perhabs |
| 53 |
if we'll get a subdomain like state.gentoo.org, we would just begin to |
| 54 |
realize this project. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
okay, now it's your turn. *g* |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Yours sincerely, |
| 59 |
|
