Inspired by the number of packages being unmaintained -- why not use |
2 |
some of that bug bounty money to fix up the recruitment documentation |
3 |
and maybe give the webpage a makeover? Marketing is a big part of the |

problem. |

1. Even MediaWiki (wiki.gentoo.org) looks better than www.gentoo.org. |

That's impressive-bad. |

People still think of Gentoo as a ricer distro that's broken all |
10 |
the time, when in reality, it's one of the most stable. No one |
11 |
would suspect that anything has changed, though, since the |
12 |
homepage hasn't since before I could drink beer. |

23 |
opening in the monthly newsletter? Really? Or in #gentoo-bugs? |

3. Get off CVS for Christ's sake. Nobody wants to work with that. I |
26 |
don't know how this fits into my bullet list, but it's important. |

All three of those problems are boring and will suck to fix -- perfect |
29 |
candidates for bug bounties. |
