Actually "staff" gives the ideal ambiguity that is needed for these |
| 2 |
placements. The need to seperate developers from staff who have seperate |
| 3 |
jobs to do is an acute one. |

|
| 5 |
At the moment the @gentoo.org <http://gentoo.org> address is seen as a |
| 6 |
developer one but as you mentioned the word "staff" is already used to |
| 7 |
describe forums staff and devrel, some of which dont develop for Gentoo. A |
| 8 |
solution for that could be to give all developers a |
| 9 |
@dev.gentoo.org<http://dev.gentoo.org>address but seeing as developers |
| 10 |
are by far the biggest group with that |
| 11 |
address it would be silly to. A better way to have it is to call |
| 12 |
non-developers "staff" and give them a @staff.g.o address. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This addressing would also be useful for the future when people are used by |
| 15 |
Gentoo in other areas like specifically for management, PR or even sales; |
| 16 |
basically any volunteer who adds to Gentoo in a non-developmental role. |
