So hereby we announce the Gentoo Multimedia overlay. It is located at
http://gitorious.org/gentoo-multimedia and any developers who want to
join can let us know their gitorious account name, so they can be added.
Administration of the overlay will be shared among the participating
Gentoo devs, so new committers can quickly be added. Any users that want
commit status can get access after their work is found to be of
sufficient quality. We encourage this, as the overlay is also a training
ground for new contributors to Gentoo.

Is there a special reason, why we need to split things even more? Why not 
invite those devs and
interested users to sunrise? Training ground for interested users is one of the 
main goals of our
project.


No, please not to sunrise :P  Don't make us remove sunrise from our 
installations because it will start wanting to replace packages from 
portage with its own, more bleeding edge than bleeding edge versions. 
Let it continue to offer packages that are not available at all in 
portage, instead of offering newer versions of packages that are already 
in portage.  Thank you :P
