I don't think it's critical to the project at all, for it to be useful |
6 |
to Gentoo developers. As a dev myself, I typically avoid things that |
7 |
require me to go to websites because it just takes longer. I use CLI |
8 |
interfaces to bugzilla, I read mailing lists and use text editors in a |
9 |
terminal, etc. |

I'd like a simple CLI tool that just goes and grabs me the info about a |
12 |
given package, or shows me overall rankings for certain sets of packages |
13 |
(depending on specified queries). Perhaps a web-service (using REST or |
14 |
SOAP) would be more interesting to implement than an actual UI. Then |
15 |
anyone could tack a web-based UI on later. |

Sure, a webapp might be nice for users, and perhaps for a few devs, but |
18 |
you could definitely propose a complete project without it. |
