Re: Where to send tag patches?

Hello,

I am really curios about your program. I'll be away around the weekend
but will try it next week. It seems to incorporate many of the aspects I
address with my application - but having another focus. So I'm really
keen on seeing how you've done it.

Sounds promising, it seems to include every functionality offered by my
application.

This sounds great. I will think about my needs during the weekend, even
though they should nearly match the ones for your program. And there
should be some people who would benefit from such a library (synaptic,
installers, ...). So it should be thought through to provide a powerfull
and easy to use API for libtagcoll and the cumbersome apt library. 
There is a nice UML Editor called umbrello - it is still not completely
stable but I've come to like it. Perhaps this could help to discuss the
issue.
