So you're saying that Gentoo consists of projects that are completely
'silo'd up' and have no bearing whatsoever on each other. Then the
DevRel project only has bearing on those who actually join DevRel. Neat,
a group formed for the sole purpose of coordinating itself. Security
need only concern itself with securing its members (from who knows
what!), and infra can just ignore the needs of everyone else (different
project!). I wonder how any of the other projects *ever* made it onto
the website...

The errata.g.o (not the summaries w/ link that emerge would output)
would obviously be documentation, would obviously be governed by the Doc
rules, and it would be irrelevant which staff member happened to publish
a particular guide. If Gentoo really is as balkanized as you state, then
it is a sad state of affairs indeed. Maybe the 'full fledged' versions
should be GuideXML-lite or something, I'm not sure, but your argument is
just silly.
