If the feedback is in the nature of bugs, then bugs.g.o is fine. If the |
| 20 |
feedback is in the nature of comments or general requests for information, |
| 21 |
then the freenode channel #gentoo-sparc is often pretty good. Also, there |
| 22 |
is a fairly active sparc forum at forums.gentoo.org, but response is |
| 23 |
slower. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also, you can send your comments in mail like this, but addressed to |
| 26 |
gentoo-sparc@g.o (instead of sparc@g.o), as in how I changed |
| 27 |
the address on this note. gentoo-sparc@... has a much wider distribution |
| 28 |
so is more likely to get a response to your notes. |

There are certainly sparc-32 users around (I admit to having an SS20), so |
| 31 |
don't let that slow you down. Feedback of the nature you are describing |
| 32 |
is always welcome. (Translation, I like to see it, and I'm the one |
| 33 |
responding right now. Others, of course, might be responding |
| 34 |
differently.) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Doubtless others will have different opinions, so you will have the option |
| 37 |
of picking and choosing, then pointing to whoever's suggestions you are |
| 38 |
following. :) |
