Patrick, |

The idea of the overlay is not just to add new ebuilds, but to test |
| 4 |
new patches or ebuilds for the existing packages. I'm also very busy |
| 5 |
lately, but the idea is to fix the existing bugs and then add new |
| 6 |
packages, and the overlay is a great place to put all our work, it is |
| 7 |
really easy for us to test the work of others, and, with some luck, |
| 8 |
users will use the overlay and thus test even more the ebuilds before |
| 9 |
being in portage, improving the quality of the stable ebuilds. |

Best wishes, |
