13 | Gentoo has been missing some kind of direction/goal for some time now.
14 | Looking back at the last two years, what are the major
15 | changes/accomplishments that we have done? Granted, I know there has
16 | been great strides in improvement in some things, but I really wonder
17 | about any ground breaking enhancements.
18 |
19 | Since the council is the closest representation to a leader we have, I'd
20 | like to ask if they can come up with some kind of global goals for 2006
21 | and beyond. You don't need to come up with goals by this meeting if you
22 | haven't had time, but at least by the February meeting. Each group can
23 | have their own goals, but we lack any overall binding goals or
24 | direction. We've brought on numerous devs in the past year, and I have
25 | yet to see a huge improvement in QA or anything else. Numbers aren't
26 | everything. If anything, it makes it harder to maintain good QA.

28 Why don't we start at a smaller level and see where we get? In other
29 words, we can build the big picture goals from where our projects and
30 subprojects are going.
31
32 Now that projects can be freely created, I see no reason that any herd
33 or any developer in Gentoo cannot be part of a project. Each project
34 could come up with its goals and directions, and we could see how (or
35 whether) they fit together.

37 Thanks,
38 Donnie
