More interaction with you all

Postby lxnay » Sun Nov 20, 2005 18:24

I'm asking to you an important thing. What should I do to increase the interaction and the development with you?

How we (developers) can organize to work together on RR4 and RR64?

The success of rr4 and rr64 rest on differentiating the distro from all the others. Therefore, it is my thought that it should attract programmers as a bleeding edge type of environment--as in Ruby. So when someone does a google on ruby the first thing that pops up is rr4/rr64--as in ruby rails 4/64 dev environment. I know that this is going to start a real flame war--but there has been no input to this point. Just getting the train rolling here!

A couple of other ideas that would be popular is implementing the klik cgm concept for distros where rr4/rr64 needed immediate software installs outside the compile/programming environment. The cgm module concept could keep everyday aps separate from the portage programming environment--thus opening up an easier Gentoo install (rr4/rr64) to the neophytes so to speak while giving them access to over 100,000 programs like the Kanotix distro.
I tried this with Opera and Kbear. The latter couldn't be installed by Synaptic due to dependencies--but worked fine with klik (after disablling the Kanotix firewall). Opera installed in seconds. The nice part--you just get rid of the module (cgm) and that takes all the files off your system without destroying dependencies--since there are none.
The second idea, is to have rr4/rr64 use portage to support gui links to Red Hat databases like Oracle, Postgres and MySQL. Ruby on Rails could really help here!
Thus we would have rr4/rr64=Gentoo Gui Install + Klik + Ruby + Portage
Bleeding edge-state of the art distro!
