This report is for the project to develop graphical front ends to aid in simple to complex package management. The time covered in this report started July the Second and ended the Eighth. More information can be found at https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2013/pkgQtGtk; please let me know if you have questions that are not answered there. The beginning of the week was dedicated to my ruby back end helper script, which is still a work in progress. I then completely turned my focus on organizing my work and ideas. I submitted the FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report, it can be viewed at http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2013-04-2013-06.html. I updated the Wiki page. I worked on documenting the repository hierarchy, as well as my procedure for quickly testing the work. I explored the PackageKit front ends and documented their current issues. I am also exploring the features that could be implemented to determine the feature set to implement on the front ends.The culmination of this documentation work will be available in the README, TESTING, and TODO files in the root directory of my repository presently. I also started drawing the front end interfaces with the enhancements. With this project, a rigid feature list and interface design should be in place early on. To run the front ends I started with a clean installation of PC-BSD. To prepare for Qt development, I installed Qt Creator. I am still looking into Glade for my GTK+ work. Justin Edward Muniz
