You're asking for Gentoo to make you guys "official". There are certain things that come with this, both good and bad. We can't go around making special exceptions for everyone.

If nothing happens with the GLEP, then nothing happens.

I just don't see it the same way as you. I agree with having all new *global* moderators taking the quiz. However, I completely disagree with you that we should have *some* global moderators that have become official Gentoo representatives, while others have not. It simply causes too much confusion and makes things a serious pain to manage. Either the forums become a much more controlled (as in global mods have to be staff) environment, or they stay the same. I just don't see how any middle ground would be feasible without an enormous amount of managerial overhead that seems like a complete waste of time to me. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
