Not necessarily. I just wrote on my blog [1] about this, and got a
constructive comment [2], which I'll talk a little about.
Here's one example of a global goal: Reduce the learning curve of Gentoo
and increase its usability.
This goal would involve a number of projects:
- - Releng would work to ensure that installing Gentoo is as easy as
possible.
- - The documentation team would continue working to make its docs easy to
follow and find.
- - The installer project (as part of releng) will continue making Gentoo
faster/easier to install.
- - The portage team could conduct usability studies of portage (perhaps
with the help of openusability.org?).
- - Similar goes for some GUI / curses interfaces to configuration files
and portage itself, such as porthole, ufed, etc.
- - Others
Thanks,
Donnie
