This sounds interesting, particularly if you could get portage to use an |
| 9 |
eix-style cache to speed up dependency calculations too. |

I think we have some bash-completion that does this already. |

emerge www<tab><tab> gives: |

www-apps/ www-misc/ www-servers/ |

completing to www-client/ gives: |

I think this will be really really small, like the other bit about |
| 42 |
listing installed commands/daemons. Both could probably be done in a |
| 43 |
morning. |

You could consider coupling this with other ideas, such as the "SCM |
| 46 |
snapshot management infrastructure" that already has a suggested mentor, |
| 47 |
which would also help with your other question about finding a mentor. |
| 48 |
Another nice benefit of that idea is that nobody else has yet expressed |
| 49 |
interest in applying for it. |
