What currently exists is irrelevant to proving > your ideas. I'm merely giving ideas and joining the discussion, which is enough for its purpose. Proving it is another thing. Besides with current Gentoo community philosophy, it may not be worth it, and is unlikely to happen. Most people doubt innovate ideas before actually trying to help figure out how to make it work. I've seen a lot of discussions like this and nothing has really happened. I'm not really expecting anything to come out out of it. It's not worth the risk to waste my time and effort. And don't tell me nothing happened because the one who made the suggestions did nothing. The people in control need to do their part as well. And people always say, "This is an open-source project. Nothing's stopping you from proving it. (Go ahead, take the risk.)". Yeah right. If people actually take my ideas seriously, or do anything similar to it, then I might actually decide to help (in some ways besides coding because I'm not in the mood to take another serious project yet, and I also don't want to take a role with responsibility, or anything that could leave people hanging; maybe I could be an independent beta tester, check some issues from time to time; give some suggestions when I want to; just not anything with explicit collaboration), but whether I help or not, I already did my part. I've said enough for this thread, and things are not becoming fruitful, as expected. I'm out. -- konsolebox
