[gobolinux-users] Call for volunteers: would you like to be a recipe committer?

[demian florentin]

Maybe it's offtopic, but there is no need to change how things are done at
the moment, it's just an idea for a better way of sharing recipes between
users(recipe-developers). The centralized structure can always be there for
everyone, but sharing source between developers is easier in a decentralized
environment and of course that easyness improves code quality a lot. As i
said, the idea focused on developers interaction, the community behind the
subject itself, not changing the way things are done.
