The best source of information is currently
http://blends.alioth.debian.org/blends/
BTW, the source of this document is inside the blends-dev package source
which you can check out from Vcs using:
debcheckout blends-dev
The Perl part of this code should be replaced in the GSoC project by a
totally new design based on UDD queries rather than parsing Packages
files.
Hope this helps for the moment and I'd be happy to mentor you. Feel free
to ask more detailed questions here on this list.
Kind regards
Andreas.
