Part of the problem is that we're now a large, extremely popular Linux meta-distribution with "mom and pop" community development procedures for everything. They were appropriate when we were smaller, but now that quite a few people are thinking that we're the next big thing, people get paranoid and they want more disclosure. That's fine and understandable. We are hackers, and our primary focus has always been coding and improving Gentoo. Now we're looking at what we've created, realizing how big it's become, and taking the necessary steps to reorganize to address the scale and popularity of our project. If anyone on this list has any suggestions or areas that they would like addressed, please email Seemant Kulleen at seemant@gentoo.org. He is keeping a master list of all user feedback relating to "growth issues," and his list will be used as a primary source of inspiration for upcoming plans to improve our accountability and responsiveness to our various user=20 communities.
