you mean besides starting the portage 2.1 thread trying to sort out the new
features? and considering updating the wiki for catalyst? volunteering for
user representative at gentoo, and giving presentations frequently at my
local lug? studying school doing my 40 hour a week internship, and I
somewhat aided with other docs in the past, filing bugs to add, update, or
remove sections. So I suppose I've done nothing to help gentoo or the linux
community? no need to get so offended... I applaud the fact that catalyst2
won't be made stable without proper documentation, and a how to is planned.
believe it or not I'm willing to help. but I can't help a project I don't
understand. but I don't like it when software is rolled out as STABLE
without proper documentation and months later it still doesn't have it. I
guess I will have to write it myself question is will it make it into the
tree? I'll see what I can do in the next few weeks to get the portage
utilities man pages in the next few weeks and make an update to the portage
manpage. I'm not coming down on you, and gentoo generally has the best
documentation around, however I notice many new tools (gentoo specific) are
lacking it.
