There is a plethora of potential Gentoo developers out there and this |
| 6 |
sort of press does nothing for getting them any closer to joining the |
| 7 |
effort. |

Secondly, regarding the DW article, surely if it was as baseless as many |
| 10 |
members of this list suggest, and I am not referring to the specific |
| 11 |
references in the article, but to the underlying reasons the author may |
| 12 |
have decided to write it, then DW should have immediately been corrected |
| 13 |
on the issue and made to publish a retraction. I am not sure this is |
| 14 |
the case and, while I am only a user and casual contributor, I have |
| 15 |
become more and more aware of the grumblings and (perceived?) increase |
| 16 |
in turnover of developers. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Thus, with all respect due to current and past developers, could I |
| 19 |
suggest that regardless of whether or not the DW article is worth |
| 20 |
consideration, the process of adopting the Communication CoC and the |
| 21 |
structures required to implement it be followed through in the best |
| 22 |
interests of all developers and users of the Gentoo project. |
