I see the point but to get more people involved, Gentoo needs to do some |
| 21 |
things different or better. Otherwise, the complaint will always be |
| 22 |
that there is not enough manpower to get things done because few are |
| 23 |
joining because so many things are behind. One feeds on the other. |
| 24 |
Something needs to change to help break that cycle. Unless I missed it |
| 25 |
or they are no longer announcing new devs, the last I see joining was in |
| 26 |
Oct of last year. That's a good bit of time. I hope I either missed it |
| 27 |
or they just haven't announced them recently. |

What would be nice, figure out a way to improve things and then get to a |
| 30 |
point where Gentoo picks only the top people wanting to join because |
| 31 |
there are more wanting to join than is even needed. That is a lot |
| 32 |
better problem to deal with than not having enough to get the work done |
| 33 |
and no one or very few joining. I would guess that if Gentoo had twice |
| 34 |
the devs it has now, some could at least take a breath on occasion and |
| 35 |
not feel they are holding anything back. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Still, things that recently happened needs to be dealt with so they |
| 38 |
don't happen again. No one may never know what that person we know |
| 39 |
about could have become. Sadly, that is likely one that is gone for |
| 40 |
good or at least a long time. Bigger question, how many more is there |
| 41 |
like that? |
