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.

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/
