Simplifying it won't help. If Gentoo wants more developers, it has to |
| 8 |
do three things: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
* Start delivering again. Not just shiny things, although some new shiny |
| 11 |
things would help, but also things that users and developers really |
| 12 |
need. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
* Substantially reduce user-visible breakages and breakages caused by |
| 15 |
carelessness or deliberate negligence that take huge amounts of time to |
| 16 |
fix. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* Reduce the amount of arcane undocumented voodoo. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The only relevance of organisational issues is whether they help or |
| 21 |
hinder in achieving those objectives. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
PMS, in a round-about way, helps with all three. |
