I like the idea of a pointer to user sites, tho I too would be uncomfortable having j. random user's ebuilds on *.gentoo.org (specifically hand-selected users that are working with specific devs is different, particularly where a dev then retains some accountability for said selection). One thing to remember, however. In the US at least, linking to specific illegal material is considered illegal in itself. There is a "common carrier" exemption, however, with the caveat of DMCA takedown notices.=20 Thus, the section on user overlays couldn't mention any non-Gentoo controlled j random user overlays specifically. What /could/ happen is that the overlays front-page story introduces the concept in general terms, with a link to a forum for discussion. The forum infrastructure would then provide the ability for users to link to various overlays, and take care of any abuse or DMCA takedown notices as it already does. That would keep Gentoo's involvement legal and above-board. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
