Sorry, I think I misunderstood the thread, I thought you wanted to redesign the current web views of Debian packages so that it is somehow more trendy/modern, but I now realised you only want to find it a trendier/more modern name. I stand corrected. However, if after finding it a new name you'd like to keep going and add things like ratings, comments, tag clouds and whatnot, you can go back to my messages in this thread and know where to start :) Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
