Yes, it should be read by both. But the information should be for users |
| 22 |
(and of course developers are users too so they'll read the information |
| 23 |
as users). |

It is short and if you want to look something up you look in gentoo-dev |
| 36 |
or emails the guy who made the change. |

Since this list is for those that want's to stay tuned on what's |
| 49 |
happening in the project without having to read the discussions on |
| 50 |
gentoo-user/gentoo-dev messages should only be about things that users |
| 51 |
might care about. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
A new version of Portage would of course fall in this category since |
| 54 |
users won't be able to use newer ebuilds without it. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I think that things like "Finally Evolution works, added RC1..." or |
| 57 |
"KDE3 is now added to portage, read about it on http://...." |
