i still think Arch can use a good pacman-frontend, but i would prefer seeing a pygtk wrapper (as i think xerxes2 is trying todo with lazypac, and as the Frugalware guys are aiming for the same goal) will be more Arch oriented (KISS). with that said, im still sure many users will appreciate your work and wont mind using a java frontend :)
The "magic" word is KISS that touches Archers' interest. It doesn't mean it cannot be GUI, its something else what users consider as "simple". In Arch "simple" is different what other distros are considering. Not easy to grasp. The "the Arch way" is good to read before starting a project for Arch. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way What I didn't know, only recently, not confirmed, the selection of language is also part of Arch's concept of KISS. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=13576 Rasat
