Well, that project never really took off. We tried to check some |
14 |
ebuilds, but after the discussion on this list and on IRC some of the |
15 |
people who started it got the (IMO wrong) impression that the developers |
16 |
didn't like the project and stopped working on it. So we never got the |
17 |
needed userbase to get the modifications tested which was one of the |
18 |
main goals (we had never more than 10 active users). At the moment you |
19 |
can call it a dead project. |

It would be nice to see some additions on the site but I don't want you |
22 |
to get any false impressions. The project was a hotshot with no real |
23 |
organization and a rather chaotic communication which survived just one |
24 |
week (no offense to anyone). |

Don't get me wrong, I really liked the idea of the project (and still do |
27 |
so), but it lacked some planning in the beginning. This and some |
28 |
miscommunication "killed" it. But if somebody want to revive it (with |
29 |
better planning/communication than the first time) I'd be in again. |
