Since I'm really not in a particular herd, here's a couple of goals I have for getting Gentoo into a better state:
1) First off, working on the kde-theme.py package. I've been working on it
left and right and it's nicely progressing, we'll see where it goes
2) Helping get some ebuilds that are sort of collecting dust in bugzilla up and
running
3) Helping other devs/herds with general bug wrangling (ie. creating obscure
patches by staying up for 5 hours on lots of Pepsi)
4) Helping out with some documentation (and sending it to the right people this
time ;p)
and that's the short list.. here's the long one:
1) Ok, I think that's about as well said as it's going to get :P
2) Getting these new ebuilds in the tree will definately help grow the number
of usefull tools for users, as well as re-initiating the developer-user
relationship.
3) Helping out general bug wrangling will, well, close more bugs :P. Not only
that, but it will vastly prevent the situation of "ARGG, MY WORLD UPDATE :(".
I'm running emerge world pretty consistantly, so if I hit something, I'll most
likely be fixing it (I hate interrupted world updates like everyone else :P)
4) There is no such thing as too many docs :P.
on a minor note, I was thinking of maybe a somewhat small comprehensive list of
major problems and ways to solve them. I know we do have bugzilla, but
bugzilla is kind of full of noise (look at all them bugs!). Therefore, I think
a small page with major stuff like "Oh my god, my stuff doesn't compile" or "It
can't find my library!" would help. Ways of solving it would also be nice. I
was thinking of having the page archive things that are 1 month old and
everything else is front page. Let me know what the thoughts are on that. Ok,
that's it...
