Hey Ian, René, and Kevin,

I'm working on getting the darn thing to compile on modern versions of OS X first, then I'll be considering different options and moving forward there. I'll definitely keep your offer in mind, and I'll make sure to reach out to the community before I do anything too crazy to make sure it's what we really want/need. :) I think that such a GUI should not be alone.

Interesting idea, René. I'll make sure to keep it in mind! It would be great if Pallet developed into a viable, ongoing GUI client for > the MacPorts project. My guess is that it will need a lot of work, and > ongoing maintenance from a single owner or team, to get there. >From what I can tell, you're pretty much on the money, Kevin. It'll be a lot of work, and hopefully either myself, or some other fearless developers, will be able to keep it up and maintain it after the summer is over. Thanks!, -Kyle
