Kinda hard to start by fixing the game team, with gentoo being a |
12 |
community-volunteer based project, and apparently no devs interested in |
13 |
volunteering for games lead. The council can ask for volunteers and they |
14 |
have, but as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't |
15 |
make him drink, and if nobody's volunteering to drink the games-lead |
16 |
drink... |

Which of course has been pointed out numerous times... |

Without that games team, the slack has to be picked up somewhere, and |
21 |
ultimately it falls to the QA and tree-cleaners teams, which /are/ still |
22 |
active, do do it. And if they're going to do it, in the absence of a |
23 |
working games team despite asking for volunteers multiple times, it's |
24 |
reasonable to expect they'll remake it in their own image, to some |
25 |
degree, which is pretty much exactly what this thread is about. |
