Agreed. If there's interest in growing Gentoo, it should be Gentoo |
| 23 |
developers who care enough about it to do something, like maffblaster |
| 24 |
who started/resurrected the gentoo-news project. *That* is something |
| 25 |
that could engage the community and keep people up-to-date on what's |
| 26 |
going on. Naturally, it'll need more developers to be involved, but |
| 27 |
every large thing started out small, so it has tons of room to grow. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Making this thing or that thing mandatory adds to the already protracted |
| 30 |
processes of our structure. It's an idea that sounds good in general but |
| 31 |
when applied to our context (non-profit, volunteer work), it doesn't work. |
