I would like to hear Aaron's opinion on whether [community] packages should appear on the main web page rather than the AUR if/when we go for the single repo-tools route. The advantage of having the [community] packages shown on the main page is less maintenance. It also separates the AUR from any repo (which I personally think is a good thing...)
The disadvantage, is [community] becomes "overly official".
Right. The TUs should be the ones to decide that part. I don't think it would be that hard to hook AUR into the devtools, but we wouldn't get some of the archweb improvements/features. We would keep package votes and comments though which are important I think. Unless votes are implemented in archweb I think we should keep the AUR interface for votes/search at least. The backend can still change.
