I think Chris's primary concern is one of "Tell us whats up before it happens." Similarly to Sunrise; don't just spring a project, propose it and ask for feedback GLEP style. You took a long long time to get Overlays up and running and it's a great project; so I know you know how to do things well ;) Maybe I will propose an amendment to the GLEP requiring this; I'd really like to see a discussion about a project here first (even if you completely ignore the suggestions and criticisms) then to just have a magical new project. -Alec -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
