MacLibre is a cool new piece of software built for the Google Summer of Code. Basically it's an open source package manager for Mac OS X software with a pretty GUI to it. I'm a little bit fuzzy on just what applications will be featured, or more to the point whether they'll feature applications that aren't open source, but any way you twist it this is a great idea.

Some of you may be thinking that this is related to Fink. Not so. Fink is more oriented toward command line applications whereas this seems to be oriented toward cocoa and aqua apps. It's geared a bit more toward the power user than the UNIX user, as far as I can tell.

It think it's nice to see an application like this come out for OS X, and I hope that developers will start releasing to it.
