Fortunately, that's _not_ going to happen here, because the rant in question just is out of touch with Devuan and with the realities of maintaining a distribution. > I have a concrete proposal instead, actually coming from a reply by > Centurion_Dan to that thread on Dev1Galaxy.

I see now that Centurion-Dan posted this to https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=13190#p13190, where his full comments can be read. It's a tribute to the high quality and dedication of Devuan Project's contributors that so much useful and creative material ends up on its Web forum. I'll confess that I consider this so vanishingly rare that until this past evening I'd not plowed through Eric's drive-by comments much, and hasn't read others' follow-on comments there at all. > If anybody is wondering "how can I help Devuan" and is ready to do > something concrete in that direction, putting together such a simple > webpage would be a valuable contribution.
