I'm a user (and would-be dev) and don't like the idea of relying on |
| 19 |
anything related to Google or another outside entity for devs and/or |
| 20 |
users to communicate. The software is also non-free and closed source. |

It's true that people can "just move on", but that strikes me as an |
| 23 |
attempt to ward off criticism and not work at solving the perceived |
| 24 |
problem: "how do we get richer communication between Gentoo devs/users?" |

Mumble exists for voice chat... certainly there's a FOSS video chat |
| 27 |
option somewhere? Diego's points wrt time management and multitasking |
| 28 |
are also salient. |
