We’ve taken the idea of creating stage4 tarballs, and planted that seed as its very own project!
Gentoo Seeds is a new project, which will work on creating rich Gentoo installs for common scenarios. We’re starting off with a Gentoo LAMP Server, and are already talking about following that up with a Gentoo LAMP Developer Desktop.
We’re at the “let’s figure out how to do this” stage. If you want to join in, please do! We’re hanging out in #gentoo-php for the moment.
And we’d love to work with other Gentoo devs who have ideas for seeds of their own.

Wicked cool! Good on you, and where do you come up with all these ideas?!

Lamp could be a pain in the ass to deploy sometimes, great idea. I think a fileserver seed could be also nice. Something that provide a samba and/or a nfs server, ready to use. Maybe just a plain share, no PDC BDC and so on.
Another very usefull seed could be a mail system, but due to the complex task, the answer could be kolab on gentoo http://projects.pardus.de/kolab/

Hey Christel,
I can’t claim any credit for this idea. It’s far too obvious, and I’m sure it’s occurred to many other folks before now.

We can probably collaborate with XAMPP on which packages to include (and why XAMPP chose the packages).
