While I (and others BTW) was trying to provide an external POV with
points to make outside contributions and rectruitement more efficient,
you guys @gentoo.org turned this thread into plain bullshits.

Starting with a statement like "Please note I'm not discussing any
technical ability you may or may not have." does not allow you to make
the exact opposite and being insulting or border-line in the rest of
your mails. I don't remember I ever faced to such direct and personal
judgments in the open source world. Oh, I know you pretend it's not.

So, I'm on my way, dear, in order to:
- learn how to approach a community (stuff that practically every user
  knows);
- learn where to find the doc and read it;
- learn all the basics;
- not magnify myself.

Thank you for all the smart feedbacks. Obvisously, it was all about me.

<F**k>
I want to believe you don't embody the dominant POV of the Gentoo
maintainers about the original topic.

I'm going serioulsy tired of this thread.
