I would say yes. > b) How do I make it publicly available (i.e. host locally if I don't > get too much traffic, try to open sourceforge project to host under, > etc.) If you don't think that you can host it yourself, then sourceforce would probably be a good place. If there's enough interest in it, it could very likely become an official Gentoo project. Even without an "official" status, it could be added to the tree. > c) Would something like this merit becoming a Gentoo Hosted Project? As far as I know, no. It would become a "Gentoo Project", not a "Gentoo Hosted Project". As far as I can tell, the difference is that a hosted project, while Gentoo-written and maintained, is capable of running on non-Gentoo machines. For example, both catalyst and genkernel are "Gentoo Hosted Projects" and are able to be run on non-Gentoo machines just fine. > d) Is this something for a GLEP? This isn't an enhancement for Gentoo Linux, but a separate project. The only reason for a GLEP is to change how things in Gentoo work. Adding a package never requires a GLEP. > e) Or should I just stuff it as a crazy idea that no one else would > want and/or appreciate? I think it would be a good idea. How comprehensive is this?
