Hey, |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Some of these things are admirable goals, but I think that the first |
| 17 |
thing Gentoo really needs to do is get to the point where people are |
| 18 |
willing to use it in production with assurances of timely security fixes |
| 19 |
etc. Then it will begin to appeal to an even broader market (no one |
| 20 |
said it couldn't still be up to date) and then perhaps some of these |
| 21 |
things will become more necessary. |

I notice that the Debian project has none of this kind of separate of |
| 24 |
content. And they have a huge community. RedHat does because they have |
| 25 |
a huge amount of content and also because they are talking to a less |
| 26 |
savvy crowd. |

Gentoo has neither a mammoth user base, nor a huge amount of content |
| 29 |
(what they have is great and the users are great, of course!). I don't |
| 30 |
see this as a huge need write now. Let the hackers hack. The |
| 31 |
documenters document. Let see where we are in a few months time. |
