That's not a metastructure change, so it's OT for this thread. However, |
| 8 |
to help you understand the purpose of voicing someone in #gentoo-dev, |
| 9 |
questions that are of a technical nature that are already documented on |
| 10 |
the gentoo.org site shouldn't require a user to be voiced in the |
| 11 |
channel. They are already covered in the docs (RTFM) for that very reason. |
| 12 |

Don't think that my comments are meant to sound like I'm annoyed. That's |
| 14 |
not the case. The documentation on the gentoo.org site is there as a |
| 15 |
service to the users and is meant to cut down on the noise level in |
| 16 |
#gentoo-dev. Since the docs are there, we want users to read them. |

As with many OSS projects, Gentoo has a "help yourself" mentality. That |
| 19 |
is, if you aren't willing to do a little legwork to find the answers |
| 20 |
yourself then you are much less likely to be successful in your OSS |
| 21 |
endeavors. |

I hope this answers your question. Thanks for using Gentoo! :-) |
