Conclusion: Let it be. Not necessarily. I just wrote on my blog [1] about this, and got a constructive comment [2], which I'll talk a little about. Here's one example of a global goal: Reduce the learning curve of Gentoo and increase its usability. This goal would involve a number of projects: - - Releng would work to ensure that installing Gentoo is as easy as possible. - - The documentation team would continue working to make its docs easy to follow and find. - - The installer project (as part of releng) will continue making Gentoo faster/easier to install. - - The portage team could conduct usability studies of portage (perhaps with the help of openusability.org?). - - Similar goes for some GUI / curses interfaces to configuration files and portage itself, such as porthole, ufed, etc. - - Others Thanks, Donnie 1. http://www.livejournal.com/users/spyderous/68149.html 2. http://www.livejournal.com/users/spyderous/68149.html?thread=117301#t117301 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDurQ4XVaO67S1rtsRAsMPAKDlw3hGO4IAoJeAt1Wm8GHQB59gnQCg/cjr BcwZe7U/8N+eHlv8UoeXiC0= =er6e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
