Basically what I think Brian was trying to say is that his people
skills are probably not ideal. Being a big fan of what they are
trying to build, my personal advice is to remember that programming is
as much an art as much as it is technical. Meaning, right now these
guys are building the ground work of something many of us feel has
allot of potential, and if we try to "help" we would only be hurting
what they are trying to create.
In short, my advice would be to do what a number of us are doing. Sit
in the background, watch the chatter, and keeping up with their
progress from time to time. When/If they are ever ready for more
people to help with the "heavy lifting" side of things, they will let
us know. Until them, let these very intelligent guys do what they are
very good at doing...

No, Exherbo is not for you.
Thanks so much for the clear answer Mr Østergaard!
- We don't have all the packages you want (I believe we're still way
below 1000 packages all together).
uuh ;)
- We're most certainly not compatible with Gentoo packages and it's
easier to write packages from scratch than trying to migrate Gentoo
packages most of the time.
- Our initsystem is completely missing.

And finally..
- You're really going to regret it if you try to migrate binary
packages from Gentoo to Exherbo as we handle most things
differently -
especially toolchain is handled quite differently.
well i'd take the sour grapes of rebuilding everything if that is
what it takes but...
So please take the advice from our homepage and wait until we decide
that Exherbo is ready for users.
K i will but please put a notice on the page once its ready for
developers, too ;)
regards marcel.
