10 What's the recovery plan if other projects don't function properly?
11 e.g. Documentation. The install guides still describe setting up
12 baselayout-1, three months after baselayout-2 was stabilised. See
13 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=1
14 Code Listing 1.2: Examples for /etc/conf.d/net
15
16 Hmm. maybe thats a bug as
17 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8 is
18 correct for baselayout-2.
19
20 Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea.
21
22 Will the council fix these things too ?
23 Josh, this is just one example I'm familiar with. not a poke at you
24 being the entire docs team.
25
26 Why are devrel and QA special?
27
28 To continue with my example, I would suggest that docs are much more
29 important as they are first point of contact for new users and without
30 users Gentoo will die.
