What looks strange -from an external point of view- is that there is lots of high-skilled people here... with huge Gentoo experience. How did these people not manage to build some plan ? With all the engineers, team leaders, project chiefs, and so on... involved in Gentoo project ?
It looks like you have the abilities to analyse the situation, you are the ones who can tell "we need that to go ahead", you know how to plan, you used to live in an open community -that implies that you have very good notions about smart & productive attitudes in a not-lucrative environment- and you have the skills to implement and deploy the solutions. I don't know Daniel Robbins's previous work so I just have the right to shut up (and do it with respect). But when I read this thread, I understand that this man' plans should/will/must? be validated before by Trustees, but also by the whole committed community (devs mostly included) because they could not accept major changes without their agreement (risks of fork). So -from an external point of view, again- it comes to me that the devs and really involved people will estimate/evaluate the proposals... and it sounds good since they are the core of current Gentoo maintenance and development. But what about having work plans directly from devs ? I know that you are very busy... but I am sure that Gentoo future could benefit from experienced people, like Alan, as an example. Is it possible to get some public report, written by devs that have something to tell, explaining the current main issues, what Gentoo should do starting from now, and the plans for near future ? Maybe with several propositions.... Because what is sure is that non-devs face difficulties to get a clear view of Gentoo status... Gal' -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
