I live in Berlin, Germany. I like to program, and I like working software. Currently interested in Erlang, Ruby, C, Common Lisp, Unix IO APIs, and B-Trees.

Personal list of things it'd like to improve or see improved

1. There should be an automatic build server (ideally with results in a web interface, filterable, searchable and with automatic notification)
2. Dependencies don't use variants; fix
3. automatically upgrade dependecies before building a port
4. port list is slow; make fast
5. There should be user messages from within Portfiles which are a bit more persistent, like emails; maybe a log file is enough
6. There should be a tool which finds stale references from executables and libraries to dynamically linked libraries (think gentoo revdep-rebuild)
7. make guide use a reasonable markup, not docbook-xml.
8. Feature: Dependecies can use versions

My ports are:

libsvm                          
mochiweb
