[snip] > I now having said my piece I open it up for public discussion. All I can say is "excellent idea!" I think the key to getting people to help out is to make it as easy as possible... ie: if you want them to make ebuilds, or modify ebuilds, have a document standing ready that has an explanation of making simple ebuilds there so that there is as little barrier to entry as possible. Ditto for things like submitting them (though I wonder if auditing new ebuilds would take more time than creating them themselves?). A great idea though, and even if the ToDo list was a link to a list of general bugzilla bugs, it would probably still be a Good Thing. I wonder what the core gentoo dev people have to say about this though? Regards, alan --=20 Alan "Arcterex" -=3D][=3D- http://arcterex.net "I used to herd dairy cows. Now I herd lusers.
