[gentoo-portage-dev] Google SoC and "cache sync"

[Emma Strubell]

Hi all.

So, I'd love to do Google's Summer of Code with you guys. I was perusing the
list of ideas on the Gentoo wiki, and the "cache sync" idea seems pretty
interesting, especially since it concerns the overall speed of portage,
including search, which of course I've already started some work on.
However, there is no contact person associated with that project! I figured
I'd come here before going to #gentoo-soc to see if anyone is interested in
mentoring me on this project, since it seemed like a few of you might be
interested.

As for the work I have already done, I really just don't have the time right
now to work on it/polish it so that I'm not totally embarrassed to share it
with you! Sorry, believe me, I'd rather be working on that then doing
problem after problem of 2's complement division. I will definitely
incorporate that this summer though if I get accepted to do SoC :]

Thanks!
Emma
