Another abuse of power by the management trying to keep the little man down! Oh the injustice! Sorry, man, but if you can't take the 30 minutes to write up a well-written proposal in a readable and already established format, then how can you possibly expect others to take the idea seriously? (This isn't meant to be pointing against you, Ian.) The truth is that there are a lot of good ideas that die on the vine simply because there isn't enough interest in them, or they aren't thought out to a usable state. I think we have also seen that sometimes even a good idea just doesn't have enough momentum to keep it going. Couple that with the fact that most of the work done on Gentoo doesn't affect Gentoo on a global scope, and hence, doesn't require a GLEP, and I would say the system has worked pretty well. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
