8 Hacking an init system is different to hacking e.g. desktop or Web
9 programs. Unless Daniel happens to be a seasoned veteran init system
10 hacker, having a mentor will be a significant boost.

12 It would be cool if some of the OpenRC hackers had the time to set up
13 a developer's wiki or similar, where they share their workflow and
14 similar. When last I hacked on OpenRC there was nothing like this, and
15 not many people had time to help me (William was quite helpful
16 though), so I was left blindly poking things and trying to figure out
17 things myself. This is a somewhat demotivating process.

19 P.S.
20 we should likely do this for other Gentoo projects as well; for
21 instance Portage.
