Our GSoC project has been accepted - yahoo! :)
This is pretty exciting. I have never bothered about Google’s Summer of Code and have literally been forced (curse you, Kumar) to propose my project I’m working on.
And in the end I have a promising student and Google accepted our proposal. Watching #gsoc while everybody was waiting whether they got accepted caused more traffic than #freenode-newyears. Looking forward to days and nights of my spare time vanish for a fancy T-shirt.
Nah, seriously. A lot of people have asked for an easy-to-handle web-enabled package repository. It will surely be very helpful as a clean and featureful basis for mentors.debian.net as well as the replacement for PPAs and REVU. And this will be my first large open-source Pylons project, too. I’m excited.

Hi!
Just one note that has nothing to do with this post: your mercurial repositories died

Oops, thanks for the hint. Fixed.

Good! I will try to make paginate work with the appengine storage

I have already improved the 0.3.2/0.3.3 version of the paginate module. It will be released with the Webhelpers version 0.6 available at PyPi soon. Documentation already available at http://docs.pylonshq.com/helpers.html#id2

Hi!
So you will see the guys from my LUG there, from the MoinMoin Project!
The nice journey to the Google HQ is a nice present for the mentors..
PS: Right now, the mercurial repositories are still dead.. :/

Unless Google pay for the journey I see a few problems going there. Otherwise it would be great. From looking at a few photos from their HQ I wouldn’t mind working there.
Regarding the repository: Jonny liked to move to Git so the current repository can be found at http://debexpo.workaround.org/debexpo.git/
