The proposal is to create another view of the pkgdb aimed at the
general
fedora user. The project will be integrated with existing tools (yum,
bodhi) with a desire to centralize their information and present it in a
suitable form for the intended audience. It will provide package
information such as: project website, pkg version, occupied space,
categories, dependencies, user commenting/reviewing of packages, user tags
with keywords (which will be exported to other tools in the future and
used for searching).
Not to put a damper on your idea, but this is precisely one of the goals
of Fedora Community. See:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-announce-list@redhat.com/msg01493.html
That email doesn't put it very well, but I think you'll find that it
will cover a lot of the bases you're interested in. We're hopeful to
have something live within the next few weeks.
Once we've got that up and running, there will undoubtedly be
functionality that is in your list that we have not provided yet, and I
think adding those apps to the Fedora Community environment will be a
great GSOC.
