A lot of them are in the same position you were recently and they appreciate the help you can give them just as much as you did. Don't feel that just because you are a mere foot soldier in the trenches that you can't make a difference. 1000 such foot soldiers make a pretty formidable force to move forward with! Regardless of what the future holds for Gentoo it will always need users, users willing to help other users, and people willing to improve the product. It simply doesn't make much sense for the community at large to pay exclusive attention to the management woes and neglect the distro itself. Here's some stuff that needs done (might be a tad out of date though): http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/staffing-needs/ alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
