Oops, really have to watch that, sent it to Kurt rather than the list.... |

I agree with you completely about the need for privacy in the internal list, |
8 |
to avoid politics leaking out. |

But I think I can provide a counter example to the list of stories you |
11 |
mentioned: the reorganization of ebuild-maintainership into teams, and the |
12 |
desire to fix the stagnant-bugzilla problem. |

My point is that people who follow gentoo-dev generally aren't surprised by |
15 |
what they read in GWN. But I, personally, have seemed to notice a pattern on |
16 |
-dev and other lists: |
17 |
|
18 |
1) A user posts something |
19 |
2) People start replying and a discussion takes off |
20 |
3) A developer shows up and says the dev team is already talking about this, |
21 |
but usually doesn't mention specifics |
22 |
[4) the next GWN issue mentions the subject] |
23 |
|
24 |
The -core list is the only plausible thing we, from the outside, see to blame. |

If I were a developer, I'd want to field my idea with a smaller group first, |
30 |
meaning the -core list. But my impression is that once the -core list starts |
31 |
talking about something, it doesn't get moved to the -dev list. Which is why |
32 |
I proposed a small group of people (non-devs) assigned the task of relaying |
33 |
such things to -dev. |
34 |
|
35 |
Do any of the GWN writers actually have access to the -core list? Seemant |
36 |
seemed to say they didn't in his "To the unhappy folks" post, though he did |
37 |
say you often voluntarily relay stuff (thanks, btw). I just think that |
38 |
relationship should be formalized somehow. Pull from our side, rather than |
39 |
push from yours. |
