One thing i've noticed is that the ebuild quiz is far more difficult than the |
14 |
eom quiz. We seem to have the biggest hurdle first. |

What I would like to see is either the quizzes be merged or.... |

An "easier" first quiz that covers the basics which after being answered the |
19 |
user can become a gentoo developer ( ie @gentoo.org email, ssh access to |
20 |
d.g.o, etc) but no access to push directly to the tree. Instead all commits |
21 |
must be pushed thru their mentor, who is responsible for qa'ing and giving |
22 |
advice. Currently I don't think mentors really have much of a role. There is |
23 |
certainly no requirement for a mentor to qa their charges commits, but if |
24 |
they are the ones pushing to the tree the mentor has all the responsibility. |
25 |
This might just make mentors more responsible for the quality of recruits. |

Some of this could be done regardless of whether there are separate quizzes or |
28 |
not obviously. But I think it creates a nice workflow. |
