30 Forum is up, but Gentoo Wiki is down.
31 I've been with Gentoo for over 6-years and have seen better times.
32
33 Some updates are not up to standards (as they used to be in the past). example only:
34 current upgrading postgresql from 8.0 to 8.1 there is no pointer to documentation how to upgrade safely.
35 In the past such an upgrade would follow link to documentation "step-by-step" what to do with explanation.
36
37 I've seen better times when D.Robbins was aboard.
38
39 We used to get a weekly newsletter; it was downgraded to monthly and now we are not getting it at all.
40 So over 300 developers has a little meaning.
