While I (and others BTW) was trying to provide an external POV with points to make outside contributions and rectruitement more efficient, you guys @gentoo.org turned this thread into plain bullshits. Starting with a statement like "Please note I'm not discussing any technical ability you may or may not have." does not allow you to make the exact opposite and being insulting or border-line in the rest of your mails. I don't remember I ever faced to such direct and personal judgments in the open source world. Oh, I know you pretend it's not. So, I'm on my way, dear, in order to: - learn how to approach a community (stuff that practically every user knows); - learn where to find the doc and read it; - learn all the basics; - not magnify myself. Thank you for all the smart feedbacks. Obvisously, it was all about me. <F**k> I want to believe you don't embody the dominant POV of the Gentoo maintainers about the original topic. </> I'm going serioulsy tired of this thread. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
