Daniel isn't pushing much on our end, unless if by pushing you mean |
19 |

OK. |

<http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/git/git_conversion.txt>. |

2. Decide whether the existing development model is suitable for and |
37 |
best in a git world. If not, what is? I have done some thinking about |
38 |
this at <http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/master_plan.txt>. |

3. Switch to the best layout and development model. |

Issue 3 is the easy one. |
