You're project has allready hit the list. I think it is a good start. |
| 23 |
Currently we are mainly focussing on what we want from an installer. It will |
| 24 |
probably be some kind of hands-on installer with lots of flexibility. You are |
| 25 |
more than welcome to participate in the discussion (and later |
| 26 |
implementation). We are not really ready for implementation, but when we have |
| 27 |
decided on the features/design we can certainly try to incorporate pen2 into |
| 28 |
the installer. |

From my impression the pen2 installer is mainly aimed at providing an easy |
| 31 |
procedure. In general gentoo tries to have the first point of allowing |
| 32 |
choice. From that respect I think that more choice would be desired in the |
| 33 |
installer, but I think pen2 is indeed a good start. |
