14 Not at all. But: please do *not* just press the reply button since at least my
15 mail client concernes about threaded mails and now I've a thread in another
16 thread.
17 However, I also noticed this in some areas and though even posting frequently
18 to bugs.gentoo.org when the need is there.
19 And, as lots of ppl actually saying that we need them, *how* to become a
20 developer then?
21 Also, I'd be interested in the "definition" of a gentoo developer :)
22
23 Any ideas so far?
