I’m always pleased to be proved wrong on points I thought ere going badly, so I’m happy to say I was wrong in my previous post, about Luis and BaseGUI project.
My mistake was due to not connecting BaseGUI with app-portage/himerge, which I did read quite a bit about; seems like there has been a bit of name changes around (well, you can’t blame him, it seems to happen to almost all the SoC projects). As for CIA stats, the Haskell team uses Darcs repositories, and they are not aggregated on the same username
The project, spawned by BaseGUI’s SoC project is called Gentoo GUIs and is quite active.
Once again, sorry Luis, and I’m glad you’re around to correct me!
