Same goes for me, but looking Mockups, It looks a lot like PackageDB, but with an improved UI .. so, in my mind, rather than making MyFedora take PackageDB's ( http://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb | https://fedorahosted.org/packagedb/ ) work, why dont extend PackageDB? .. PackageDB code is already out there .. revamp the UI, add more features .. I used the name "PackageWebUI" was because thats the title in the Fedora GSOC Idea page .. but I would prefer an approach of improving pkgdb rather than writing a new one.. my.fedoraproject.org / MyFedora - the name sounds more like a Fedora AIO to me, and thats also what i understand from "my.fedoraproject.org is a project to integrate all of the Fedora infrastructure in one place. The goal is to create a modular web page in which each module would pull views from the various Fedora resources and display them to the user.", and one of those modules, could be an integration to PkgDB/PackageWebUI .. Unix philosophy: "Write programs that do one thing and do it well." .. PkgDB focuses on packages, MyFedora focuses on integrating the rest of Fedora infrastructure. Of course, provide a way for all of them to communicate with each other (JSON,XMLRPC,whatever). Or do J5 have different view about this?, both idea ( improve MyFedora / improve PackageDB ) sounds okay to me, just that I feel that if MyFedora implements those features, PackageDB and the effort made for it previously would be rendered of no-use (or perhaps thats what one of MyFedora's goal - to obsolete packagedb ) .. -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
