Not necessarily. I just wrote on my blog [1] about this, and got a |
| 10 |
constructive comment [2], which I'll talk a little about. |

Here's one example of a global goal: Reduce the learning curve of Gentoo |
| 13 |
and increase its usability. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This goal would involve a number of projects: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- - Releng would work to ensure that installing Gentoo is as easy as |
| 18 |
possible. |
| 19 |
- - The documentation team would continue working to make its docs easy to |
| 20 |
follow and find. |
| 21 |
- - The installer project (as part of releng) will continue making Gentoo |
| 22 |
faster/easier to install. |
| 23 |
- - The portage team could conduct usability studies of portage (perhaps |
| 24 |
with the help of openusability.org?). |
| 25 |
- - Similar goes for some GUI / curses interfaces to configuration files |
| 26 |
and portage itself, such as porthole, ufed, etc. |
| 27 |
- - Others |
