And I for one would give it a go and try and find something that suites my level of skill and intrest.

RE: [gentoo-dev] Increasing contributions and interest via personal project aggregation
Sounds like a good idea to me as well! -Original Message- From: Donnie Berkholz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 12:45 AM To: Gentoo Developers Subject: [gentoo-dev] Increasing contributions and interest via personal project aggregation Hi all, I'm sure I'm not the only one with a number of projects I'll never get to, but I'd really like them to happen anyway. I suggest we create some sort of page that aggregates all of these personal projects together, so anyone can browse through them and look for stuff that sounds fun. The goal is to increase contributions from outside by giving them a ready list of projects of all sizes and difficulty levels to work on, projects that go beyond what happens at Bugday. Further, it could also help current Gentoo developers who are bored or have lost interest in what they're doing by helping them to find somewhere new to contribute. A prototype with just my projects is at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/proj/ Thanks for your comments! Donnie -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Maybe I'd do more than the occasional ebuild in bugzilla if it already was implemented ;) I'd like to see such a thing - maybe not only for gentoo related stuff but for linux/programming in general. greets pgppcnJ9Nbz7C.pgp Description: PGP signature

I hope I don't break down religious discussions, but I pretty much like what I see from Ubuntu's Launchpad, which handles so callled "Blueprints", see for example: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/soyuz/+spec/personal-package- archives Unfortunately, Launchpad is not yet open sourced completely, some code lies around here: https://launchpad.net/launchpad As registering a project at the launchpad.net service is not an option for Gentoo, any other idea for a good management of ideas that includes comments, assignments, filtering, etc?

Once I tried WS6, the same fault showed up after going back to 5.5. However, there is a fix on the VMware forums and apparently the next WS6 RC won't have this problem. -- Neil Bothwick A pessimist complains about the noise when opportunity knocks. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
