9 That's a shame. I get the impression Gentoo is geared toward the
10 security crowd, or rather, more so than other distributions I've come
11 across.

19 Yes, exactly. This is the type of project I've been looking to get
20 involved in anyway, so it made sense to try to do so within the
21 framework of Gentoo. : )

25 How much time would members typically put in, say, per week? I imagine
26 it's difficult to estimate an 'average' -- since most of the time
27 spent is probably in actually reviewing source code -- but I'm looking
28 forward to contributing a decent number of hours a week as part of
29 this project. Effort is certainly no deterrent.
