Hello, I'm so proud of this that I need to announce it to Debian Devel Announce.
I implemented a new kind of package search, here: http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi It's an experimental new way of searching Debian packages: you start with a normal text search, and then you work with categories. Working with categories is as easy as expressing three very simple opinions: "I want this", "I don't want this", "I don't care about this". You don't even need to know about the categories to use this, and in a few simple clicks, you should to the packages you need. (description taken from the FAQ[1]) It is experimental and it is a prototype, so it is slow. But it is cool! The idea came from a chat with OpenUsability's Jan Mühlig at LinuxTag, and has been further enhanced with discussions in the Debtags mailing list[2]. Both the search page and the editing and browsing pages connected to it definitely need some Ajaxing. If you decide to do it, send a mail to [email protected]; improvements of the CSS are also very welcome. Ciao, Enrico [1] http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/packagebrowser/faq-search.html [2] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debtags-devel -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
