Hi! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I don't see such chaos :/ |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Did you take a look to |
| 39 |
https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/become-developer/ |
| 40 |
? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Regarding the documentation needed to fulfill the quizzes, the quizzes |
| 43 |
already contain "tips" to help people to find the documentation, also, |
| 44 |
most of the useful information is at: |
| 45 |
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Then, starting to read Devmanual would be a good start :) |
