Graphical Package Manager
Anyone that knows how I work in linux, knows that I"m comfortable with the cli, and prefer it to a gui. I know that not everyone is or should have to be. Sometimes a gui can make management easier. Even a die hard cli person like me realizes that. However, you should never have to do things the gui way, they are just front ends. emerge-ng needs to support having a gui even if the development of such a project is not directly part of the emerge-ng project.

You should check out himerge, part of the #gentoo-guis project. It requires haskell (as does darcs vcs) which can be a large build on Gentoo. Once you have it though, it opens a lot of interesting stuff up, eg xmonad a 500 line fully compliant X WM, and some really innovative code.

and #gentoo-haskell or #-guis -- araujo is the dev and he's cool to talk with. The haskell team are probably the most pleasant bunch of devs in Gentoo, btw.
