That makes it quite different from the "semi-official" overlays I gave as examples. Whether something is "semi-official" or not is all about perception. If people see that a project is run by gentoo developers, possibly formed into a gentoo group, using gentoo resources (bugzilla, forums, mailing lists etc) to discuss and organise, then there will be a perception that the project has some semblance of officiality. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
