I would like to ask all people, who get to users, who want to contribute with ebuilds or similar, |
| 2 |
tell them about our sunrise overlay[1][2]. People can learn how to write ebuilds, they can learn how |
| 3 |
to write ebuilds with some nice QA, they learn how to manage a SCM (in this case svn) and some may |
| 4 |
even enhance to gentoo developers. :-) |
| 5 |
As a side effect, we get a nice collection of ebuild, which are easily maintainable even by users |
| 6 |
and which are easily accessable by everyone. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Esp. i would ask those who wrangle bug: If a user contributes an ebuild for an app not already in |
| 9 |
portage, tell them about sunrise, so they help out a little bit more, if they are interested. With |
| 10 |
that done, something like "sunrise suggested" in Whiteboard would be nice. |

Anyone knows an easy way to point people to our overlay from e.g. our main website? Something like |
| 17 |
www.gentoo.org -> "I want to contribute"/Contributions -> Sunrise/others would be nice. It could |
| 18 |
help to get more contributions and activity to sunrise on the one side and will make it easier for |
| 19 |
people who want to contribute to find some place where they can do it. |

Other ideas/suggestions for Sunrise are also welcome, tell me about them on-list/off-list/by |
| 22 |
mail/#gentoo-sunrise or other preferred way. |
