I think that would be counter productive. It's the 'culture of gentoo' that encourages this condescending attitude from the (document and other) devs. Lots of folks with skills would help, if the process of helping becomes lightweight or unencumbered. This sort of help could be outside of portage so anyone using such packages would be warned ahead of time that these packages are not officially sanctioned by the 'gentoo devs'. Maybe just a simple way to aggregate overlays and a place where others are encouraged to develop, use and maintain ebuilds and docs. Then the ordained among the gentoo devs could merely mine the repository for new additions to what they care to sanction. Right now, things are very discriminatory, discouraging others from participation and after awhile, folks leave or ignore the greater gentoo community. It's not the first time that there have been acrimony in the ranks of the gentoo devs...... imho, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
