Quite the contrary, I talked on irc about how the project could help |
6 |
though i didn't mention it here, sorry about that. |

Yea, you can do whatever you want with it, I never said you could't. |
20 |
The project has good goals and the ability to help, my ENTIRE question |
21 |
which you did NOT answer was of logistics. Ebuild XYZ sucks and janitor |
22 |
fixes it and submits it to you, what then? If it doesn't somehow get into |
23 |
our main portage tree than it can't help anyone. THIS is the reason |
24 |
you should be talking to devs, to see if we can come up with a way |
25 |
for the cleaned up ebuilds to make it into the tree. |

30 |
what research? It doesn't matter how nice you and your teammates |
31 |
are if the project has no ability to deliver the product. Keep in mind |
32 |
I never questioned you or your ability or your projects or your teammates. |
33 |
I asked how you planned on getting this to work and you reacted |
34 |
in a very emotional and defensive way. I suggest you evaluate the |
35 |
goals of the project and your ability to contribute to Gentoo with it. |
36 |
We will be more than happy to facilitate your project and it's contributions |
37 |
but you must take the initiative to talk to developers who can help you. |
