Introducing myself

My blog is online at last. Thanks dsd for setting it up.

For those of you that don’t know me I’m a new developer working on the website redesign. I’m also contributing to the GDP a little and I’m a Global Moderator on the Forum. My devspace is still under construction and I’m not sure when I’ll have a front page up and running but I do have some screenshots of the preliminary redesign uploaded:

I have the entire main www.gentoo.org and the forums set up on a mirror here in my house that is fully functional and uses the new design. It runs off of my DSL line so I don’t want to make it publicly accessible. infra has set up a test box for me to use so once I have everything cleaned up and migrated to that box I’ll post a link.

Ioannis Aslanidis (Deathwing00) and I wrote a new document for the Forum, forum-guide.xml. I have a preview on my dev space in html format. It’s waiting for a directory under /proj to be set up before I can put it up live on www.gentoo.org

I’m also in the process of writing a kernel-configuration guide as requested by dsd. I’ve made great progress but still have a ways to go before it can go live. Hopefully it will help kernel newbies to understand the ins and outs of configuring a kernel and cut down on all the duplicate posts on the forums and in #gentoo on freenode. I’m sure NeddySeagoon will be happy to hear this 😉
