Nope. He's a ghost Gentoo user. I don't think he is subscribed to any |
| 16 |
mailing list or the forums. He just searches for clues and docs. |

I have to say, the docs seem to be lacking on updates. I think it is a |
| 19 |
lack of manpower so my hats off to the few, maybe even one, that is |
| 20 |
working hard to do what is done. I wish I could help more. I'm |
| 21 |
disabled and have more time than most to do it but the xml thingy is |
| 22 |
Greek to me. No offence to the Greeks here tho. ;-) I do think that |
| 23 |
docs should at least be ready a few days before things are released or |
| 24 |
the release should wait. Some things are more important and some may |
| 25 |
not be such a huge deal but networking is something that about every |
| 26 |
computer has to have and some setups are complicated and need to have |
| 27 |
good docs to back those people up. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Maybe some devs could help write some docs and the docs folks just |
| 30 |
convert it to the xml thingy? Sort of spread the load a little? |
| 31 |

| 32 |
Just saying. :-) |
