2008.0 documentation

Makin' good progress on the handbooks and other documentation for the upcoming 2008.0 release.

Sent off the networkless handbook tarballs to releng as promised by the deadline. Finished the Portage handbooks. Also got just about everything done for the networked handbooks, too. There's one blocker for the tracker bug, and that's something that doesn't really need to be.

Also there's some changes to make to a few of the other documents, but those aren't too bad...compared to last release.

I'm getting precisely zero help from the rest of the GDP with the release, though. That's not making me all that happy. It's the sort of thing to make someone retire, go on vacation for a year, or never work on the handbooks ever again and everyone is screwed because no one's left to work on 'em.

That being said, my stress levels are much lower this release. Much, much lower.

Which is good, since my sciatica has flared up since getting injured at SCALE a couple of weeks ago, making it almost impossible for me to walk sometimes. Excruciating pain at times. I'm starting to get better, but it'll be several more weeks before I'm "well."

You are not retiring while I am around. We both got recruited in the same week, so I can't outlive you in Gentoo :(

Great work. The Gentoo documentation was probably the biggest reason I started to use Gentoo.

Keep up the good work.

Hi there,
long time gentoo user reporting in. I have quite some free time in March and although I have to prepare for my new job, I might help a bit with the docs. I am not a native english speaker - but maybe I can help a bit? Feel free to email me.

Have Fun,

Björn

Hi there. Gentoo user reporting here. It's sad to read this that you're almost alone in this work.

I would like to offer you my help, if you needed. I write English very well (i think so) with a few problems of grammar.

My native language its Spanish, so feel free to mail me.

See ya, and excellent work my friend. Keep up!
