Welcome to debexpo
debexpo (Debian package exposition) is a web application that allows you to run a user-friendly public Debian package repository with social interaction that you may be used to from social networking sites. debexpo is the basis for the mentors.debian.net site but may be useful for others as well. It is basically a Pylons application that can be deployed on any server. You do not need anything more than Pylons, a little harddisk space and a database like PostgreSQL, MySQL or Sqlite.

Current state
The project has not yet been released to the broad public. It has roughly been finished during the Google Summer of Code but - to be honest - not in a releasable state. Since June 2010 there is fresh activity and hopefully we get enough manpower to finally make it useful and draw further attention. :)
