A school system should have a well defined syllabus, explicit |
4 |
educational targets and an objective evaluation system. If Gentoo is |
5 |
going to run a Gentoo School with courses for developers, that sounds |
6 |
cool (and may relieve some burden from the developers mentors). Probably |
7 |
its objectors just want the project to formalize its methods before |
8 |
official launch. |

In regard to the "rule of thumb" you suggest to verify average quality, |
11 |
I wouldn't consider a reliable way to assess quality. I suppose that |
12 |
part of responsibility of Gentoo towards their users consist in "using |
13 |
caution" in their choices. Caution suggest that you cannot suppose the |
14 |
long-term effects by measuring the current, limited, 150-ebuilds version |
15 |
of this project. Also, it's better to debate this path now, rather than |
16 |
wait until we realize Gentoo cannot handle at least minimal safety of a |
17 |
100000-ebuilds user-contributed overlay used by hundreds/thousands of |
18 |
people and throw it in the dustbin with a "we said that if it doesn't |
19 |
work, we kill it" quote. It would be a lack of respect towards the |
20 |
efforts of users that contributed to it. |
