Haiku student (thanks to GSoC 2007)  Łukasz Zemczak posted his first blog update about his work so far on the package installer he's in charge of. In the post he talks about usability and how it played a part in creating the first draft of the installer for Haiku. He had some discussions with Darkwyrm and Waldemar (you all know them) about it and they helped him come up with a better result than he thought. He mentions as well that there will also be a package uninstaller this time. Here's his own definition for the package installer: "PackageInstall will be a simple .pkg package installer. It will be mostly based on the BeOS default pkg installer, offering a user friendly, lightweight interface. It will be written in C++, using the Haiku API."

He includes a screenshot in his post for everyone to gaze upon. Here's hoping that his work will bring fruits by the end of the "internship".
