We're all about picking an itch and scratching it. I won't tell you where to put your time or where not to put your time. However, for the purposes of an actual project, I believe it's considered essential that we own the infrastructure that project is hosted on. All of our other projects (to my knowledge) are hosted on our own infrastructure. If we cannot properly administer a Gentoo resource, i.e. if we have to go through unaffiliated intermediaries, then it should not be an official Gentoo project. I don't believe having a spot in /proj/ designates a project as "official"; I think the actual working area needs to be Gentoo-owned. That being said, you and others are free to do the whole LQ and other forums help; more power to you. But as I said, I don't think it should be an official TLP (or subproject) as we do not have proper supervision of external resources. --------------enig5EB7170580C284AA6E79781F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoUV5gACgkQxPWMzpKk6kNlEACfRyfkIXMB8MdQsOPgbzdzP/EP kHIAn08sPSswfFZSYpfSx4HeYkZmVbyQ =KPw0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5EB7170580C284AA6E79781F--
