<p>This GLEP amends GLEP 39[#GLEP39]_. A new project must be announced
|
| 72 |
|
|
to the community prior to it's conception. The announcement should state
|
| 73 |
|
|
the project goals, the plan to achieve those goals, and any other information
|
| 74 |
|
|
deemed useful to the community by the person proposing a new project.</p>

|
| 78 |
|
|
<p>Projects were being started behind the scenes that people were not aware of;
|
| 79 |
|
|
this included developers and users alike. It was thought important to notify
|
| 80 |
|
|
the community of new projects. This also enables new projects to get valuable
|
| 81 |
|
|
feedback before getting to far into design and implementation.</p>

|
| 85 |
|
|
<p>We hope projects receiving feedback fare better in the long run with regards
|
| 86 |
|
|
to general reception as well as meeting the goals set forth in their
|
| 87 |
|
|
announcement. We hope projects announced early get more volunteers by virtue
|
| 88 |
|
|
of being announced and in the community's view.</p>

<p>Projects already announced before 19-Oct-2006 are not affected. Since this
|
| 93 |
|
|
GLEP was authored nearly a year later, conceivably projects announced since
|
| 94 |
|
|
then should retroactively send mail regarding their goals and means to achieve
|
| 95 |
|
|
them if they have not done so already; otherwise they would be in breach of
|
| 96 |
|
|
policy set in 2006.</p>

|
|
<p>New projects should send an Request For Comments mail to gentoo-dev (and
|
| 101 |
|
|
optionally gentoo-project) in order to received feedback from the Gentoo
|
| 102 |
|
|
community. Once the feedback has been received and changes incorportated into
|
| 103 |
|
|
the goals and design (if any), the project team should send a mail to
|
| 104 |
|
|
gentoo-dev-announce (and optionally gentoo-announce) regarding it's launch.</p>
|
| 105 |
|
|
<p>The contents of the announcements is left intentionally vague as to not
|
| 106 |
|
|
restrict the scope of projects, goals, and means. If announcement, projects,
|
| 107 |
|
|
goals, or means end up being terrible; the authors of this GLEP fully expect
|
| 108 |
|
|
the community to chew you out over it.</p>
|
| 109 |
|
|
<p>This GLEP does not empower the community to kill a new project, even if everyone
|
| 110 |
|
|
decides it sucks.</p>
