Well, officially projects can be started by any dev. We don't really |
12 |
have a formal process for projects run by users only. |

However, if a bunch of users want to do something serious I wouldn't |
15 |
let that be a reason to stop. By all means self-organize on any of |
16 |
the lists (gentoo-user, gentoo-project, gentoo-dev as appropriate), |
17 |
and if there is something standing in the way of accomplishing |
18 |
something we can see what we can do to facilitate. |

In any FOSS activity the #1 issue tends to be people willing to do the |
21 |
work. If we have that, then there is no reason to let anything else |
22 |
stand in the way. There are devs who are willing to proxy-maintain, |
23 |
and if you just need a dev to put a page up on the wiki to call it a |
24 |
project I'm sure somebody would be willing... |
