Empirical evidence agrees. Our current quiz practices have done a good job keeping out a lot of the incompetence that used to slip through before we took that approach. Stricter tests make for more knowledgable developers and folks with a lack of commitment to Gentoo are usually not willing to tackle the learning curve. As for whether or not we're inviting or not, anybody can contribute. They don't need to be @gentoo.org to do so. What we really need is to focus more on those outside contributions. -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
