Same goes for me, but looking Mockups, It looks a lot like PackageDB,

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 ) ..
I agree with you.
IMHO, need to use as a basis packagedb (revamp the UI, add more
features, etc).
Make it pretty and convenient for users.
I've clarified the Package WebUI idea a bit [1]_
Basically, the data is going to need to reside in the PackageDB.
MyFedora may choose to pull that information out as raw data or as an
import of the PackageDB UI. We'll have to evaluate that later. the
focus of this particular project would be to provide a task or
application oriented interface to the information in rpms. This will
require a fair bit of additional db schema as the current schema is
oriented towards packages and we'll want to pull information about
programs, libraries, etc out of the packages.
There are other possible projects revolving around the packagedb and
myfedora. For instance, the PackageDB UI is in desperate need of a
clean up (the present UI is what I threw together to make the intial
release.) If someone wanted to take the time to mockup a new UI and
implement the html templates/javascript functions to make it work,
that would be a much needed project as well.

I thought to realize exactly these functions of Package WebUI project
from the very begining as the idea for GSoC.
But unfortunately there is no time till deadline for presenting
applications :-(
I wish I had a chance to do UI for package WebUI pretty, convinient and
clear for everyone.
