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.

You know, was there really a point in this?

I'm a volunteer.  I spend about 40 hours a week working on Gentoo stuff,
besides my normal 40 hour a week job.  You're complaining because what I
volunteer on wasn't done to your satisfaction?  Seriously, keep this
kind of opinion to yourself.  I don't care to hear it, and it doesn't
contribute anything to the conversation.

What did *you* do to help get documentation done?
