Everything in the Gentoo project is per definition strictly developer-only. I suppose that it's a function of having the project centered around a foundation. I understand that it is very easy to get tunnel vision once one is "in", but please do remember that Gentoo is quite explicitly exclusionist. In some ways I think this is a really good thing. In other ways it's mind-numbingly restrictive. I do not pretend to have a solution to the problem that would make everyone happy. I don't think that such a solution can be found actually :) because different people require diametrically opposed things in order to be happy. Anyway, don't forget how the project works. Users can make themselves heard on mailing lists and in (most) IRC channels, but that is it. We are absolutely second-class citizens in the Gentoo community and transcending that class divide is anything but quick and easy. //Peter
