That's a good point. Personalities, situations, and even the given goals |
| 19 |
of a group can change over the course of time. There's a certain point |
| 20 |
imo where it does no good to hold grudges and it's healthier to start over. |

I know nothing of the prior situation, William, but as someone who cut |
| 23 |
their dev teeth on a few Java packages, it takes a hell of a person to |
| 24 |
work on those ebuilds, and the project needs all the help it can get. |
| 25 |
monsieurp and chewi have done a whole lot for it, but I think they could |
| 26 |
use someone who uses Gentoo+Java in a more demanding environment (such |
| 27 |
as work), and it seems like you fit that bill. I'm not on the team, but |
| 28 |
for the sake of the Java programmers out there (again, not me) your |
| 29 |
presence would benefit Java on Gentoo as dealing with it in a workplace |
| 30 |
gives you a strong understanding of what the ebuilds need to support and |
| 31 |
how the packages tend to be used. |
