Well, officially projects can be started by any dev. We don't really have a formal process for projects run by users only. However, if a bunch of users want to do something serious I wouldn't let that be a reason to stop. By all means self-organize on any of the lists (gentoo-user, gentoo-project, gentoo-dev as appropriate), and if there is something standing in the way of accomplishing something we can see what we can do to facilitate. In any FOSS activity the #1 issue tends to be people willing to do the work. If we have that, then there is no reason to let anything else stand in the way. There are devs who are willing to proxy-maintain, and if you just need a dev to put a page up on the wiki to call it a project I'm sure somebody would be willing... -- Rich
