21 | The question I ask is ... does every herd have a project it fits under?
22 | I doubt it. And if it doesn't, is it really considered a project? Or is
23 | that just a generic name given now? I guess a see a distinction between
24 | herds and projects that our current documentation url layout doesn't
25 | cover it well. To me, it should have its own herd/fooherd layout
26 | (example being www.gentoo.org/herd/en/netmon). Otherwise you're going to
27 | confuse our users into thinking that herds are projects when they're
28 | really just herds. Granted, some herds may be just a project, but I'm
29 | mainly after the herds that have no real project to fit under.
30 |
31 | I understand the block was lifted for projects, but that doesn't mean
32 | herds should all should fit underneath proj/.
33
34 I agree. What I meant is that herds should be grouping together to form
35 new projects if they don't fit in an existing one; not that they should
36 create one project per herd.
37
38 | I think we should open up
39 | a similar space just for herds.
40
41 I disagree -- they should all be able to fit into some project.
