This basically means ideas for tools, scripts, or functionality in some hypothetical centralized maintainer helper website or GUI/CLI program that would help save time in taking care of some of the gruntwork that gets done by maintainers right now manually or by scripts that don't get shared and re-used and generalized as much as they could. Then afterwards I can sort through the suggestions/ideas, try to make a summary and arrange some of them to actually happen. If things get done quicker, there is theoretically more available time, which hopefully would translate into being able to bring us back to the bleeding edge in one hand, and high quality in another. I have intentionally left out my own ideas at start to keep everyone's mind open to various approaches to this. Please share your thoughts and ideas as a reply here, on my matching blog post as comments or via private e-mail! --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-hR4k+ejeUmRQesUBL3iG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkmt4QAACgkQkeYb6olFHJfqQgCeL27bDFN9s4t5lPW8qGTYjOfY D+sAmQGX+FbvU0NtUMe9Rm2VUuW0rn3u =64gC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-hR4k+ejeUmRQesUBL3iG--
