The "quiz" is just a dumb checklist, if you already know everything |
| 7 |
needed for writing and managing ebuilds you won't have any problem |
| 8 |
answering it. If you have doubt you may look up informations or ask your |
| 9 |
mentor for pointers. If you think that's too hard for you well... |

I always did thing for myself and for partially compensating others that |
| 17 |
gave me that much, I'm not on a pedestal, I'm on the shoulder of a |

the quiz is dumb and is structured to point some common situations in |
| 27 |
which you may not solve properly at the first try. |

I'm quite sad we have such different ideas about the quiz and why it got |
