no offense, but this is one of the worst proposals i've ever read on this list; why? because, one of gentoo's major problems is that it is becoming more and more a toy exclusively for its own developers. by banning non-dev contributors from this list some of you may feel better - but gentoo as a whole will probably suffer. silencing people doesn't make their opinions invalid. what gentoo needs in my opinion is a clear structure, strict and unmistakable rules about what $dev may do and what $dev must not do, and ways to enforce these rules; this, and not moderating or restricting communication channels, would improve the way people are working together. as this may be my last post - and it seems to fit in quite nicely - i also want to say: gentoo's problem is not that ciaranm is a troll. the problem is that ciaranm is not a troll. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
