I haven't actually been doing much Gentoo work over the last months due to personal reasons (nothing Gentoo related), and I don't see that situation changing in the near future. In fact I've already reassigned or dropped most of my responsibilites in Gentoo a while ago, so there are just a few pet projects left to give away: - my gentoo-stats project (in the portage/gentoo-stats svn repository). I know quite a few people are interested in the idea of collecting various statistic data from gentoo user systems, and I'd encourage everyone who wants to implement such a system to at least look at it (I may have even finished it if I wouldn't have wasted my time focusing on the wrong problems). There is quite a bit of documentation also that should help to get you started - a graphical security update tool (see bug #190397) So if anyone wants to adopt those, complete or just parts, just take them. As for Portage, Zac has practically already filled my role. So I guess that wraps it up. It's been a nice ride most of the time, but now it's time for me to leave the Gentoo train. Marius
