You just asked a subproject (portage) status. I asked about them some times ago and probably that will appear in the next GMN (it couldn't make it since the number of items is large and nobody could summarize it in time). The problem is that there isn't a single roadmap, you have N roadmaps, one for each project and sometimes diversified even for subproject.

You don't strictly need anything about summaries, roadmaps and group organisation. You'll receive the best we can do, hopefully when it's safe to use it and as quick as the previous constraint makes that possible.

IF you want to help you have all the information you need in order to get started, if you are just curious you can just invest more time to satisfy your curiosity.

Anyway you are DEMANDING something giving nothing back and thus you fall in one of the "do not".

If you want to volunteer helping the Gentoo PR / Gentoo News effort you'll be more than welcome.

I don't want to communicate with individual developers. I want to be able to read a roadmap for the whole project. I want to know what features to expect in Portage.

I agree that you can find out what's going on in Gentoo. But it leads to information overload - we need summaries, roadmaps and group organisation.

Please don't get too enamored with the im.gentoo service. It's going away in the near future, we've been saying that for a while.
