I do not see why it is considdered hard for users to "get involved". |
13 |
Users have at least two choices that I can think of right now, and |
14 |
probably a number that I cannot think of. |
15 |
|
16 |
1) Users can submit patches/ideas to bugs.g.o at whatever frequency |
17 |
they desire, contributing to gentoo casually. |
18 |
|
19 |
2) Users can take the quizzes and become a developer, I do not see why |
20 |
two quizzes is considdered an insurmountable task, the quizzes are |
21 |
specifically designed to ensure that people writing ebuilds understand |
22 |
what ebuilds can contain and what they cannot, I could not imagine a |
23 |
user wanting to install a package from an ebuild written by someone |
24 |
that does not know this. |
