I'd beg to differ there actually. |
| 14 |
Infra developers are more often than not package maintainers etc as |
| 15 |
well, and have cvs rights. if they don't have cvs rights, they look |
| 16 |
after core infrastructure which is vital to Gentoo's survival. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Documentation devs, develop rather large and quite excellent online (and |
| 19 |
offline) documentation. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Not to take away from the importance (or lack of depending on view) of |
| 22 |
moderating the forums, but they are not as critical as official |
| 23 |
literature and infrastructure, and also do not necessarily require in |
| 24 |
depth knowledge of the technical aspects of any post. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Regardless, I would prefer the term "Staff." |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, I don't really see the need in having shell access to the |
| 29 |
developer boxes. what use would this be? |
