What do you think? I'm going to echo Mike here -- the additions are good, the forced update schedule not so good. However, there's something in the subject line not in the body which I also like: > and collect them as Gentoo current goals I wouldn't have chosen those words, but a list somewhere of all the new, shiny and/or important stuff people are working on could be nice if it can be done well. The GWN's future zone was a step in this direction but seems to have died off lately and never really (IMO) got enough material to realise the potential. Of course, this relies upon people in Gentoo actually doing new, shiny and/or important things first, before telling people about them. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
