[gentoo-project] [RFC] 'Gentoo in 2020', next round

[Andreas K. Hüttel]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 637 bytes --]

Hi all, 

taking over on Michal's request, here is latest version of the "2020 in 
retrospect" post. 

https://gist.github.com/akhuettel/a5ffcce70f3b3152fc9d654b696bbbe7

The first paragraph (above "Gentoo in numbers") will be the text visible on 
the main www.g.o. page.

Let's publish this sometime on the weekend; in the meantime, feedback and more 
suggestions for content are welcome.

Please keep in mind that here we want to mainly show off **user-visible** 
news.

Cheers, 
Andreas

2020 featured almost 25500 bugs reported, compared to 15000 in 2019. ...
The total number of bugs closed in 2020 was 23500, compared to 15000 in
2019.
------

15000 created and closed bugs in 2019 seems suspicious. Could that
number be verified? I see even in 2020 the numbers are very close to
each other. But just in case.


------
packages.gentoo.org The packages website has received a lot of
improvements towards being a central source of information on Gentoo
packages. It now shows the results of QA checks, bugs, pull requests
referencing a package, and a maintainer dashboard indicating
stabilization candidates and outdated versions (according to Repology).
------

I'd like to add somewhere that these new checks are fully uniquely
customizable via session (cookies?). For anyone wondering what I'm
talking about, check
  https://packages.gentoo.org/user/preferences
  https://packages.gentoo.org/user/preferences/packages


Then the last part... discontinued projects. I'd like to end this on a
happier note. Like moving the whole "Please note that we can describe
here only a few major items. We would like to thank all Gentoo
developers for their relentless everyday Gentoo work. While they are
often not recognized for this work, Gentoo could not exist without
them." part at the very end, and somehow disconnect it from
"Discontinued projects" via markdown. Just my opinion.

antarus grabbed these numbers using some magical SQL.  Note that I've
applied rounding to a multiple of 500.

Yeah, I've indicated that we'd use some summary, and certainly it would
make sense to make that a part of it.

IIUC this doesn't imply that all 15000 closed bugs had been filed
in 2019. So there wouldn't be anything wrong even if the "closed" number
was higher than the "created" number.

I wonder however, why not use the exact numbers if we have them?

Maybe "SuperH" instead of "SH" here?

I think that is a nice idea. 
I was super confused about what this was.

Good idea, I've moved the thanks paragraph to the end and expanded it a little 
bit.

I've now written "SH (SuperH)" to keep both keyword and usual name, similar to 
ARM64 (AArch64)...
