 * DebTags central database rewrite, review functionality, tag adoption and such.

 * Britney improvents
 * Nicer support of pinning in apt
 * Unify apt, dpkg, etc
 * Improvements/unification in QA websites (packages.qa.d.o, qa.d.o/developer, dehs, etc)
 * Real perl shlibs
 * Improve shlibs to caclulate the used shlibs, rather then the theorically required ones

This is a draft, and need a lot of work before it leave the draft state.

Should Debian participate in Googles Summer of Code 2006? If so, the project need to formulate projects and announce our interest. This wiki page is created to make it easier to plan and coordinate such effort.

[http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/04/summer-of-code-2006.html Request for mentoring organizations] has gone out, and Debian need to move quickly to make it before the May 1st deadline. Mentoring organisations should read the [http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html mentor FAQ].
