Donnie,

The cynic in me sees the secret-proctors project taking shape.
 
I have a great deal of empathy with the ideal. However, its better if 
these 'stop being a dickhead' messages come privately from a respected 
college than from a comparative stranger. 

Gentoo is big enough now so that many devs never work/speak with one 
another, which is a part of the problem you are trying to address here.

I don't think we need a group to do this - we already have one. The 
developer pool, we need to raise awareness. It needs publicity to 
encourage everyone to participate, something like a 'don't be a 
dickhead day'.


Ned,

I think very few ex-proctors would be jumping in for a second helping 
after the way they were supported by the council that created them.
