Hello all,

I have recently pressed the reboot button on the ol' Installer project. I've been able to 
talk to quite a few developers one-on-one via IRC concerning my plans. Most seem to be in 
support of Gentoo having a "official" installer (the biggest concern is appears 
to be how things will be implemented and the amount of features involved). This e-mail is 
to fulfill GLEP 39's request for comments (RFC), concerns, requests, etc. Since I'm a 
little new to the project I'm coming with a bit of ignorance; I know the previous 
Installer project fostered mixed feelings.

If you'd like to review before replying you can see the Wiki page and find the 
source on GitHub: https://github.com/gentoo/stager

To summarize I'm writing it in pure Python 3. It first will be able to create 
full backups (stage 4s) and recoveries. After that is finished I plan to move 
on to installations. There will potentially be a web interface UI for it. 
Others are free to create other front-ends; to me a web UI makes the most sense 
and would probably require the least deps.

I'd like to hear it all so please speak your mind. Looking forward to hearing 
from you.
