[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Newsletter (Was: Ideas for user-developer communication)

Hello everyone,

Many people have proposed a 'Gentoo Newsletter', a webpage or email periodical
that will allow users to keep current with Gentoo matters and to realize
better what the developers are actually doing. People have been complaining
that Gentoo isn't transparent and/or user-centric enough, that's a bad sign.

The idea had been raised on gento-core at least once before and was roundly
approved by everyone, but noone actually took up the glove.

I'll be happy to write the kde and qt-related news items. foser has agreed to
do the Gnome stuff, and mcummings will be the perl guy. This is just the
result of a fee questions asked on irc, so I expect a lot more people to join
this effort :-) Two users have already volunteered to help farther back in
this thread.

Ideally any developer (or user!) should write the editor(s) a quick note
whenever he does something big and interesting in Gentoo. There might also be
some coverage of the Gentoo community itself, a la the kernel cousins - such
as summaries of important mailing list discussions. (Well, that's my own
private idea, so ppl may disagree.)

The position of chief editor & coordinator is still open :-)
