18 Yes! Definately need this for ebuild's. However, the current documentation is
19 unfinished so perhaps we can set some standards and finalise the whole lot.

21 I will volunteer to help write documentation and possibly form the original
22 standards with a team of several Gentoo developers.

24 Just let me know if you want some help with this as I will be more than willing
25 to help write some documentation.
