There's definitely a wealth of information in the The future is now: opkg vs apk thread started by @efahl, however I think it would be better if the first post in the pinned thread quickly explained the problem and offered options rather than go into details on the apk vs opkg.
Obviously, it would be greatly beneficial if The future is now: opkg vs apk is linked from the pinned post for more information/background.
Given the urgent need for something like that before more people turn up, I think whoever can get the time to draft a post like that first should get the pinned post, I'm sure @psherman can do a great job. I agree would be nice to tag devs to review the pinned post.
Just my 2c.
