+Well, there's no information related to RPMs that wouldn't be useful in
+mageia-app-db, which is meant to be useful both for end-users and contributors
+(basic view for the former, advanced view for the later). Dependancies,
+provides, will be queried from Sophie2.
+
+Maintainers will have to be queried from the maintainer db too so that we can
+add this information on mageia-app-db.
+
+In fact, hadn't been the deadline so short, I would have stepped in for the
+maintainer db, which would have benefited from the work already done on mageia-
+app-db.
