It might be worth putting together a list of folks interested in doing this on the Gentoo website, under a Third-party Paid Support section. We already have a Support link on the top of www.g.o, it could be on that page.
This is a good idea. If you do it, it would be a very good idea to also post basic advice for Gentoo developers who put their name down for this. Folks'll need to know about contracts, documenting their work, and insurance. Per-country advice on independent contracting would also be helpful. We'll also need to sort out a process for handling complaints against developers from the folks they help. Doesn't matter how well we make it clear that these folks are "independent"; their actions will reflect on Gentoo as a whole, and unhappy customers _will_ complain to us sooner or later. Rather than pretent it won't happen, better we're pro-active and have something prepared. Best regards, Stu -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
