After that, I intend to give it, and the Framework, some more modern-day-MacPorts features. No features are set in stone as of yet, but I'm considering adding doctor, reclaim, rev-upgrade, a progress bar, or possibly even the ability to edit portfiles.<br>

</div></div>Great idea! I would only propose that you *not* pursue the idea of letting people edit portfiles, as that opens up lots of possibilities for problems. Pallet should be the utility for users who are not comfortable using the command line. Those users don't need to be editing portfiles.<br>
