Oooohh, great. Yes, we can talk on IRC, but I'm not used to connect to it,
so it's better pinging me via e-mail or via Jabber (zoso at jabber dot sk).
Do you have your CDBS file public somewhere? How do you plan to release the
file, that's one thing I'm not sure about: send it to CDBS maintainers, make a
little add-on deb package for CDBS, include directly in packages for now...?

Hehe, OK. I'm looking forward for that post. Do you have any design or
implementation ideas? I originally planned to use a little utility written by
me, in Ruby, called UCLPW (Ultimate Command-Line Project Wizard), but perhaps
it will be better having a custom one, ERB-based.
