Hi, |

you motivate your proposal by claiming the Gentoo Project stagnates which you |
| 4 |
relate with its decline in popularity: |

But let me ask this question: Is the number of users really that important to |
| 19 |
Gentoo? Since it does not strive for world domination I think all that matters |
| 20 |
is to keep the current userbase happy. From your thread I do not understand |
| 21 |
whats wrong on that side: |

|

> For various reasons many techs were not implemented and now Gentoo is in a |
| 24 |
kind of stagnation. |

|
| 26 |
What do you mean by that in particular? And what is wrong with |
| 27 |
bugs.gentoo.org? Wouldn't it be better to talk about how attract more |
| 28 |
developers? I guess a lot unsolved bugs stem from the fact that there are too |
| 29 |
few that can take care of them. |
