One thing that I had been considering bringing up and getting help with is some scripts/whatever to get users to do things they might not know they can do during installation. For example, let's say we've got a little script, called sub_to_gwn, which takes a single argument, an email address. At the end of the Installer, we can ask "Would you like to subscribe to the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter?" and subscribe people that say yes. We could do the same thing for a stats client, or any other projects that we deemed would be useful. The idea here is to present some of these things that we would like the users to be doing to provide us feedback (and disseminate information) to the user when they're installing. Of course, we'd also add the scripts into the documentation, so people can simply run them w/o the Installer, so we're not tying this stuff to Installer-only installs. Anyway, some things I think we could/should do are: - GWN - gentoo-announce - gentoo-stats (or whatever we have now, if anything) Anything else? --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-uuzmQFRfnP+CbdkpbrVz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGoS2ckT4lNIS36YERArWBAJ4iqFO78T0kcaH3l8CssNSb8HOewACgs2tX PEg1L2+qyRxxFmB9IAEYDGM= =9tSv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-uuzmQFRfnP+CbdkpbrVz-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
