17 The Gentoo-Wiki and Gentoo-Portage pages are unofficial, but it would be
18 very nice if Gentoo was able to provide its own wiki service (and
19 Gentoo-Portage-like thing, packages.gentoo.org is nowhere near as
20 useful), possibly working with Mike on an official basis. I've always
21 been curious why the Foundation is passing up a great opporitunity to
22 have a lot of good, community based documentation especially for
23 projects and setups that Gentoo itself does not provide documentation
24 for, as well as an easy frontend for reading all about different ebuilds.

26 I am unfortunately unable to help with this predicament though plan on
27 putting in a donation once the sites are up. It does appear he was able
28 to get in touch with TelX so hopefully everything gets up and running
29 quickly.
