We should not have third-party projects be part of SOC --
specifically,
things that are not Gentoo projects. I'd lobby this whether it was
pkgcore or paludis being proposed, so don't bother trying to pin
partisan accusations. Point is, it's not a Gentoo project. PMS,
portage
tests, or doing a gentoo.org rewrite -- those are Gentoo projects
by any
reasonable standards, I should think.
Not entirely true. The very reason Google selects Linux Distributions
as mentoring organizations is because a lot of projects that benefit
the entire FOSS community in general are mentored by them. Have a
look at the project ideas for Debian or Fedora; they have several
ideas that have nothing to do with the distro, but do benefit a
broader audience.
I see nothing wrong in mentoring projects that are not related to
Gentoo in any way at all, leave alone projects like Paludis which
have provide *direct* benefits for (some) Gentoo users.
I completely agree with what Alec says, applications must be ranked
purely on the basis of their technical merit, rather than evaluating
how it helps a specific subset of projects.
Cheers,
