Better to say what we don't have: |

|
| 7 |
* descriptions of all those pesky little helper programs. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
* clarity and detail for certain sections. |
| 10 |
|

| Further, since this *is* something gentoo needs, when will it |
| 12 |
| potentially be finished? We've been told repeatedly it's being |
| 13 |
| worked on, and it's referred to as if it's almost finished. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It will be finished when it's ready. |

Access is open to individual people who ask for it, if we think that a) |
| 24 |
they'll be useful rather than just going around attempting to sabotage |
| 25 |
the thing and b) they won't give it to the wrong people. |

| Flamewar aside, it's a simple request; can the council please look |
| 28 |
| into it. If this is the route to go (ie, closed development and |
| 29 |
| they're doing it), fine, but I'm requesting folks take a look at it, |
| 30 |
| see if it's progressing. |
| 31 |
| |
| 32 |
| If it's not, then time to find another way to get it done. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
*shrug* It's not so much about getting it done as having something |
| 35 |
decent when it is done. For it to be useful, it has to be quality, not |
| 36 |
wiki. |
