[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Overlays: Status Report

Hi,

Everything we had planned for Gentoo Overlays [1] phase 1 is now in place:

   * Active admin team
   * overlays.gentoo.org site, hosted on Gentoo infrastructure
   * Trac and Subversion for each overlay
   * Homepage aggregating the RSS feeds from each overlay
   * Developers and Users Guides online [2], [3]
   * #gentoo-overlays channel to provide support for overlay owners
   * Overlays available over https

We have over thirty overlays currently hosted.  If you'd like yours adding, 
drop by #gentoo-overlays and we'll get you hooked up.

I think we're ready to announce the service, but before we do, I thought 
it'd be a good idea to get feedback from the wider dev community.

Best regards,
Stu

I've got an overlay on overlays.gentoo.org. It is working out very
well. Thank you for providing such a useful service. It saves me the
time of setting up and running my own svn hosting and web pages.

I have 2 suggestions. On the wiki[1], there is an image in the
upper left that says "gentoo overlays", but it links to gentoo.org.
Could that be changed to link to overlays.gentoo.org? As far as I can
tell, there is no link back to overlays.gentoo.org from the trac pages.
The other suggestion I have is for the homepage[2] and RSS feed. Would it be
possible to get the committer's username listed?

Thanks again to everyone in the overlays project for all the hard work.
