I think that would be counter productive. It's the 'culture of gentoo' that |
| 11 |
encourages this condescending attitude from the (document and other) devs. |
| 12 |
Lots of folks with skills would help, if the process of helping becomes |
| 13 |
lightweight or unencumbered. |

This sort of help could be outside of portage so anyone using such packages |
| 16 |
would be warned ahead of time that these packages are not officially sanctioned |
| 17 |
by the 'gentoo devs'. |

Maybe just a simple way to aggregate overlays and a place where others are |
| 20 |
encouraged to develop, use and maintain ebuilds and docs. Then the ordained |
| 21 |
among the gentoo devs could merely mine the repository for new additions to |
| 22 |
what they care to sanction. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Right now, things are very discriminatory, discouraging others from |
| 25 |
participation and after awhile, folks leave or ignore the greater gentoo |
| 26 |
community. It's not the first time that there have been acrimony in the |
| 27 |
ranks of the gentoo devs...... |
