1 Hi,
2
3 We plan to eval Gentoo. We await 2008 final. The comment is, Gentoo
4 home page gives no clue about status. Convincing people that Gentoo is
5 "alive" becomes tricky because the final is months late and little
6 motion on the home page. That's about all most people inspect.
7
8 So bottom line, impressions of Gentoo are going south even before we
9 test.
10
11 Some sort of "progress bar" or chart showing bugs squashed and new
12 reported, maybe?? At least some kind of "ticker" showing "expected
13 final release date"? Counting lines of code or something?
14
15 Personally I don't care when final ships - just knowing "present
16 expectations" or status with an easy home page glance is all I ask.
17
18 Thanks.
