11 Read Message-ID: <20060608200549.GB10801@×××××××××.rechner> before you
12 set up FAQ entries like:

15 Do I need to support Sunrise users and their questions now?

17 You can treat this as you like on a case-by-case basis:
18
19 - Ebuild development questions should for example be discussed in
20 #gentoo-dev-help and I have seen threads about it on
21 forums.gentoo.org and even helped there. There is no reason why
22 questions about ebuild writing for the Sunrise overlay should not be
23 treated equally.

26 Maybe i wasn't clear enough in my previous mail (which may be the
27 reason why it was simply ignored), but while we were taken by surprise
28 of a new project being announced and no one talking to us about where
29 this may fit in on the forums, this FAQ entry completely ignores what
30 i explicitely asked for in the mail above.
31 If you want to use the forums, that's fine and they are here to help
32 with problems, but deciding things without approaching us to find a
33 solution that also fits into our forums structure makes me have
34 reasonable doubts how this project will integrate into Gentoo.
