I think that this would ultimately help make Gentoo development more

Will you be intending to recruit some sort of official helpers (who
are probably already active on these forums)? Would they become members
of the project (and thus Gentoo Staffers/Developers)? What privileges
would these project members have within the Gentoo Development sphere?
AllenJB
to specify sets in package.* (which I assume would be done
using the @set-name syntax), but can't remember where off-hand. This may
have just been a suggestion, but if it ever is implemented, it would
surely add to the confusion.

Where is this documented (both from a users point of view, and from a

If hplip the only package that can only use one of qt3/qt4 and as such
that's why it's the only one with local use flag descriptions, or are
there more which just haven't been documented?

An official wiki should not be used to duplicate the existing unofficial
wiki (and I don't believe this is the intent of the developers who want
