<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> |
| 82 |

| 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> |
| 97 |

<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> |
