I wrote some ebuilds this afternoon for erlyweb and its dependencies. The code I abstracted was just from yariv's (yarivsblog.com) packages. I don't know if the eclass is really all that practical for code from other sources and therefore merits inclusion. I also don't know if the tiny handful of ebuilds I've written merits its own category, but I would like to believe that erlang is going to grow in popularity and deployment in the near future.
