1 | There have been a number of developers leaving Gentoo in the past 6 |
2 | months as well as a number of news stories on DistroWatch, Slashdot, |
3 | LWN, and others about Gentoo's internal problems. No one seems to have |
4 | pin pointed the problem, but it seems glaringly obvious to me. We |
5 | simply don't have enough developers to support the many projects that |
6 | we have. Here are my ideas for fixing this problem: |
7 | |
8 | - Cut the number of packages in half (put the removed ebuilds in |
9 | community run overlays) |
10 | |
11 | - Formal approval process (or at least strict criteria) for adding |
12 | new packages |
13 | |
14 | - Make every dev a member of at least 1 arch team |
15 | |
16 | - Double the number of developers with aggressive recruiting |
17 | |
18 | - No competing projects |
19 | |
20 | - New projects must have 5 devs, a formal plan, and be approved by the |
21 | council |
22 | |
23 | - Devs can only belong to 5 projects at most |
24 | |
25 | - Drop all arches and Gentoo/Alt projects except Linux on amd64, |
26 | ppc32/64, sparc, and x86 |
27 | |
28 | - Reduce the number of projects by eliminating the dead, weak, |
29 | understaffed, and unnecessary projects |
30 | |
31 | - Project status reports once a month for every project |
