Errrr...since when did the number of people working on the GWN have anything to do with horribly misquoting somebody's blog? Are you suggesting there is a critical number of folks working on the GWN which will automagically prevent this sort of thing from happening? Sorry, I don't buy that. The issue here is that Brix was never contacted to review the GWN content prior to having his blog publically twisted into inaccurate bullshit. -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
