no offense, but this is one of the worst proposals i've ever read on |
| 19 |
this list; why? because, one of gentoo's major problems is that it is |
| 20 |
becoming more and more a toy exclusively for its own developers. by |
| 21 |
banning non-dev contributors from this list some of you may feel better |
| 22 |
- but gentoo as a whole will probably suffer. silencing people doesn't |
| 23 |
make their opinions invalid. what gentoo needs in my opinion is a clear |
| 24 |
structure, strict and unmistakable rules about what $dev may do and what |
| 25 |
$dev must not do, and ways to enforce these rules; this, and not |
| 26 |
moderating or restricting communication channels, would improve the way |
| 27 |
people are working together. |

|
| 29 |
as this may be my last post - and it seems to fit in quite nicely - i |
| 30 |
also want to say: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
gentoo's problem is not that ciaranm is a troll. the problem is that |
| 33 |
ciaranm is not a troll. |
