Devs don't have to bother or even know about this at all. The support will be limited within the possibilities of these who want to offer it. The amount of support that LQ ask from us is *more* than covered with what I and the other volunteers can offer (it would be covered even with just me) If I founded a project it's just because it's a way to make the rest of the persons aware that the initiative exist, and because I like official things when that's possible. For the rest of people who just don't care about this, this represent no change at all. In other words, this project will only affect those who have any interest in it, the rest of devs and people here can just ignore it as if it never existed. We could argue that the sunrise project is bad because these devs taking care of it should concentrate in portage instead, same for gentoo-alt, to put just two random examples (I swear that I feel no animosity against these projects at all :) ). But that's pointless as I see it. This is open source, and everyone will contribute wherever s/he wants, regardless of where you think they should contribute. By rejecting the gse project gentoo.forums.org will get no extra time or support from me, and LQ will get no less either. In the same lines, the fact that I support people at LQ is not going to change the kind of support nor the quality of the support that I give on our own forums. -- Jesús Guerrero
