[Soc-coordination] Looking for a mentor

[Chris Oliver]

Hello everybody,

I am a sophmore computer science major in need of a mentor for a project I
would like to work on with Debian. I have started a project called Keryx in
an attempt to develop a tool capable of browsing all available packages much
like Synaptic that is cross-platform allowing users to download packages,
dependencies and updates from any computer to a flash drive. This can help
users who perform updates on machines without internet connections, dialup
users, and provides an alternative to APTonCD by giving users the ability to
use common flash drives easily without having to reburn CDs. It is still a
_very_ alpha application and needs a lot of work. I plan on rewriting it
from scratch, creating an API that would be able to be used with multiple
interfaces, command-line and GUI. I plan on supporting package installation
as well, which can be done several different ways, but I am not for sure
which would be the best route yet. You can check it out here:
http://keryxproject.org

Would anyone be interested in mentoring me? I would be interested in hearing
ideas for features and such.
