Yep. Part of the problem is that we're now a large, extremely popular Linux |
| 6 |
meta-distribution with "mom and pop" community development procedures for |
| 7 |
everything. They were appropriate when we were smaller, but now that |
| 8 |
quite a few people are thinking that we're the next big thing, people get |
| 9 |
paranoid and they want more disclosure. |

That's fine and understandable. We are hackers, and our primary focus has |
| 12 |
always been coding and improving Gentoo. Now we're looking at what we've |
| 13 |
created, realizing how big it's become, and taking the necessary steps to |
| 14 |
reorganize to address the scale and popularity of our project. |

If anyone on this list has any suggestions or areas that they would like |
| 17 |
addressed, please email Seemant Kulleen at seemant@g.o. He is keeping |
| 18 |
a master list of all user feedback relating to "growth issues," and his |
| 19 |
list will be used as a primary source of inspiration for upcoming plans |
| 20 |
to improve our accountability and responsiveness to our various user |
| 21 |
communities. |
