There's no need to rename the herd to humanities just because some folks are uncomfortable with topics and packages relating to religion. Think about your local library (Dewey decimal system) -- you don't find Bible study guides in the humanities/sociology (300s, 400s, 600s, 800s and possibly 900s (history))...you find it in 100s and 200s. The sections on religion and philosophy. the remaining 7 packages are clearly religious in nature. Don't try to label them anything else, just because you ain't comfortable with it or don't like 'em. I agree with you. And genealogy is somewhere in the sciences or human sciences section. Dominique -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Will your program include last-rites for packages you convert over from maintainer-needed? Yes, and maybe inhumanities would be a better idea for a herd. Although converting all the maintainer-needed sounds like vampirism a lot. Oh, and about that theology herd - i do find 'theology' a kinda narrow naming, but that's just me. My point exactly. However, as long as they drive people to coordinate their work better, I don't care what herds are called. For all I care you start giving each herd a mascot.

[gentoo-dev] new herd: theology
The idea came up a few months ago about creating a 'religion' herd. I finally got around to following through, and with robbat2's help, created the 'theology' herd. The basic description is to take care of packages relating to religion, genealogy and humanities in general. Anyone is of course welcome to join and help out taking care of the packages we'll maintain (I'll update metadata shortly), just add yourself to herds.xml Thanks all Steve -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
