I don't know how the database is structured, but database backups of |
11 |
gentoo-specific data would be nice to have. Simplest after that would |
12 |
be for it to then just be stored on your dev.gentoo.org account (once |
13 |
you're recruited ;). I believe dev.gentoo.org home directories are |
14 |
part of the gentoo-infra backup system. |

This sounds like a db-load distribution nightmare. Do keep us informed :) |

I've actually been pondering that for a long time now, but I've been lazy :p |

There are lots of improvements in the current upstream release. I'll |
35 |
try to do the upgrade sometime this week, but it may take longer if |
36 |
there are db migration problems. |

The key to that is to get a wider audience. Right now your audience is |
43 |
limited to gentoo-soc + parts of gentoo-dev. If you could manage to |
44 |
(say) get it into the handbooks as a recommended package, and/or into |
45 |
the 10.0 release DVD, you'd get a flurry of activity w.r.t new users |
46 |
and hence new contributors. |
