Hello,
while starting some code to extract the information from a repository to 
a database, intended to be used for PlayDeb. I got the idea that 
developing this code as part of a content management system would be 
suitable to use not only with PlayDeb and GetDeb but also with any APT 
repository.
It could be used to provide information for either a small repository 
like a PPA or a huge repository like the Ubuntu universe.

After discussion the idea with a few people it turned from something 
that would be nice to do, to something that needs to be done.

I  have setup a launchpad project for the development:
https://launchpad.net/apt-portal

The project will not be get/play*deb centric, getdeb and playdeb will be 
implemented mostly as themes and eventually plugins for the APT-Portal 
core.

Best regards,
