I completely forgot about Google's Summer of Code! Thanks for reminding me. Hopefully I won't forget again by the time summer rolls around, obviously I wouldn't mind getting a little extra money for doing something I'd do for free anyway.
On a more related note: What, exactly, does porttree.py do? And am I correct in thinking that my suffix tree(s) should somewhat replace porttree.py? Or, should I be using porttree.py in order to populate my tree? I think I have the suffix tree sufficiently figured out, I'm just trying to determine where, exactly, the tree will fit in to the portage code, and what the best way to populate it (with package names and some corresponding metadata) would be.
