If in several years the number of users is not > increased - we can tell about stagnation. But let me ask this question: Is the number of users really that important to Gentoo? Since it does not strive for world domination I think all that matters is to keep the current userbase happy. From your thread I do not understand whats wrong on that side: > For various reasons many techs were not implemented and now Gentoo is in a kind of stagnation. What do you mean by that in particular? And what is wrong with bugs.gentoo.org? Wouldn't it be better to talk about how attract more developers? I guess a lot unsolved bugs stem from the fact that there are too few that can take care of them.
