Following the Gentoo original handbook at that time was the good thing to do. But things change over time. What was true in 2003 might not still be true today or tomorrow. Things did change to the point that nowadays using an initramfs to keep a seperate /usr filesystem is the way to go. It's surprising you to have taken the handbook from Gentoo as best practice guide to get a proper system and not beeing fine with the recommendations of today. If I wasn't in this predicament, I'd just make a mental note to never install /usr to a separate partition and be done with it. Honestly, I used to have create a dedicated /usr filesystem for a long long time. It really was a big plus in the past. Except of some corner cases, I don't think it worth the trouble anymore. -- Nicolas Sebrecht

Currently, I'm basing myself on the bugs we have open for the documents that haven't been touched in a while, or that are for guides that aren't fully maintained. Once that is done, I will move the guides that haven't been touched in a while as well (starting last edit 2003, then 2004, etc.) and those that I am the main author for (as I'll be doing my edits in the Gentoo wiki). The translation support in the Gentoo Wiki is working quite well imo (correct me if I'm wrong) as it supports translations almost simultaneously by multiple translators. Also, the process for editing is now rather than having people become potential recruitees first. During the majority of documentation moves, I will probably update the main site link from the Gentoo site (towards /doc/en/list.xml) towards a page (or category) that presents all documents on the wiki that are marked as translatable. Personally, I think only those documents that are well reviewed and edited should be marked as translatable, which is why I haven't gone through the entire wiki site marking all articles as translatable.
