This whole thread is quite disappointing to me. Someone comes up with a |
2 |
new way to use Gentoo; to make it a viable tool for a job; to make it |
3 |
USEFUL. This is what we are about here (or were?). |

So unless that has changed and no one has updated the webpages... |

I don't think Gentoo should be about finding the "perfect technical |
13 |
solution." You notice the quote doesn't say "perfect tools" or "the |
14 |
best tools", just better ones. |

I don't think new projects should be subjected to some crazy GLEP |
17 |
process just because they might be relevant to the entire community at |
18 |
some point in the foreseeable future (which is every project). Hell I |
19 |
started TreeCleaners; We remove packages from the tree; where was the |
20 |
call for a GLEP then? |
21 |
|
22 |
I don't savor the way this project was announced (I only know of it via |
23 |
Stuart's blog; and I personally would want some working stuff before |
24 |
making a project page); however I appreciate even less the amount of |
25 |
flak that he has taken for trying something new. |
26 |
|
27 |
Once again; if you have technical considerations about his idea then I'm |
28 |
sure he would like to hear them. However I didn't see any in my |
29 |
gentoo-dev-ml scrollback; so I'll assume everyone has mostly baseless |
30 |
comments to make. |

As Donnie said; if this is the thanks one gets for trying out a new |
33 |
idea; then why try at all. |
