Hi everyone,
as everyone probably noticed, there is a current atmosphere of sinking ship,
with quite a lot of people leaving and many agreeing that gentoo is no fun
working on anymore. Before it's too late, I'd like to propose a big reformation
that would help solve some of the issues we are curre

Hi,
I think the time has come for me to retire as a gentoo dev. There are
multiple reasons to that, but mainly, it has stopped being fun a good
while ago, and I don't like where I see the project heading.
One of the main reasons that I am involved in free software in the first
place is because o
Hi everyone,
as announced some time ago on this list, the text-markup herd has been
split in two different herds: sgml, which will deal with (surprisingly)
sgml and docbook packages, and tex for (La)TeX packages. An arbitrary
decision of herding general text and OCR packages under tex has also

Hi all,
I've been voicing my concern repeatedly on irc, and I believe that it
would probably be more effective here.
I believe that the solution of adopting a Code of Conduct, especially in
this rushed way, will ultimately hurt us, and that the disadvantages far
outweight the benefits.

Hi,
the text-markup herd currently manages two very different types of
packages: those sgml/docbook related and those TeX related. This is a
problem, since many members of the herd (me included) know only one of
those two fields.
That's why I propose to split the text-markup herd into two new her

on what is currently happening.
