...and? You seem to think that Gentoo being "developer-friendly" would be a change in the current way we do things. > User-centric design is why Gentoo is/was different from everything else.

I can tell you that in the three years that I've been a developer, not once have I done "user-centric" design. I have always done what I think is the best way to do something. I am not alone, I know. It's pretty simple. We design a system that *we* want to use. If others benefit from it, then great. Apparently, this works pretty well since we have thousands upon thousands of users. > On Monday 09 October 2006 5:45 pm, Donnie Berkholz wrote: > > That's only true if you assume Gentoo developers are in this for the > > users and not for themselves and their own personal satisfaction. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
