BTW, where would one go to get involved in organization of the wiki? I |
| 40 |
found myself wishing for templates for consistent formatting of things |
| 41 |
like files, one-liners and naming of ebuilds, but I don't think I |
| 42 |
ought to simply create the templates I'm looking for without talking |
| 43 |
with someone first. |
