As part of an initiative to keep our users up to date the User Relations |
2 |
Project is going to feature a yearly "Status of Gentoo" article in the |
3 |
GWN (hopefully a series of articles if we can gather enough |
4 |
information). This will entail getting all the projects to ensure their |
5 |
respective /proj page is up-to-date and creating a (short) status report. |
6 |
|
7 |
I ask everyone to please look at the Project Listing[1] and do a few things: |
8 |
|
9 |
1) Follow the link to the project homepage of any project you are a |
10 |
member of - make sure the project page is up-to-date. Things to look for |
11 |
are: members, description, tasks, sub-projects, leads, resources. |
12 |
|
13 |
Please correct any information that is wrong. If you don't want to fool |
14 |
with the xml then submit your changes as plain text directly to |
15 |
curtis119@g.o and I will take care of updating it for you. |
16 |
|
17 |
If you update it yourself or if it is already up-to-date please make |
18 |
sure to email[2] us or ping curtis119 on irc to let us know. |
19 |
|
20 |
2) If you are a lead of any project please submit a 1-3 paragraph status |
21 |
report (or assign it to a member of your project who shows interest) to |
22 |
User Relations[2]. |
23 |
|
24 |
The status report should include one paragraph (more if you can) about |
25 |
each of the following: what the project has accomplished in the past |
26 |
year, what the project is presently working on and any plans the project |
27 |
may have for the future. |
28 |
|
29 |
You can also include any other facts about the project you wish. The |
30 |
more information you give the better it is for our users. |
31 |
|
32 |
Some projects have recently submitted status reports on this list over |
33 |
the last 2 months, if you are one of those projects please resend the |
34 |
report to us[2]. |
35 |
|
36 |
To make it as simple as possible please submit your report as plain text |
37 |
and we will do the guideXML formatting. |
38 |
|
39 |
I will give everyone a few weeks to do this and then I will start |
40 |
pinging on irc, sending emails and generally being a pain in the rear end. |
41 |
|
42 |
|
43 |
Thanks in advance |
