I think gentoo is stuck with the release of new tools, new ideas.. I've been worried about the Weekly Newsletter too, but you only have to read planet.gentoo.org to see that the wheel stills moving on, and stills healthy. I think there's a lot more gentoo for the years to come.

In December 2006 I started a thread titled "Is Gentoo Healthy?" in which I was roundly put down for raising the possibility that the decline in the number of Gentoo users could possibly affect the remaining Gentoo users in a negative way. Is everyone still toeing that line? The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter hasn't been published in almost two months. Is Gentoo destined to be just another distro starved for contributors and struggling to stay up to date? If so, I really misjudged it. The meta approach of Gentoo is superior to any other in my mind, and I think it's growth and potential are being stunted by the "we don't need them" attitude which perpetuates Gentoo's lack of usability features for beginners. Gentoo needs as many users as possible to reach its potential. It's a short-sighted mistake to think that non-contributing users do Gentoo no good. Non-contributing users become contributors as time passes. Car mechanics all start as car drivers. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
