Okay, this is probably not the right place to ask but I'll try anyway, I would like to see an ebuild added for 'openwebmail' (www.openwebmail.org).

To install a couple of dependencies are needed. Other than that only an untar to the /var/www/localmachine (or whatever is your httpd dir), adjustment to the config file and init by a tool installed. So no compilation needed whatsoever.

How do I go about? would anyone be willing to make such an ebuild? should I do it myself? (total newbie to ebuilds though, or the scripting language it uses). And how to I get it added to the portage tree?

Openwebmail is way better (imho) than squirrelmail... Love to hear anyones thoughts about this.

The Gentoo Bugzilla is the place to make such requests. And it has already been requested, but noone has volunteerd an ebuild yet.
