Who cares about views? It is our distro and we just like to make it
better. Right?
There is a plethora of potential Gentoo developers out there and this
sort of press does nothing for getting them any closer to joining the
effort.
Secondly, regarding the DW article, surely if it was as baseless as many
members of this list suggest, and I am not referring to the specific
references in the article, but to the underlying reasons the author may
have decided to write it, then DW should have immediately been corrected
on the issue and made to publish a retraction. I am not sure this is
the case and, while I am only a user and casual contributor, I have
become more and more aware of the grumblings and (perceived?) increase
in turnover of developers.
Thus, with all respect due to current and past developers, could I
suggest that regardless of whether or not the DW article is worth
consideration, the process of adopting the Communication CoC and the
structures required to implement it be followed through in the best
interests of all developers and users of the Gentoo project.
