Gentoo development
- Resolving endianness issues in C akin to the Modern C porting, article. This should cover all of the ways endian issues can bite programmers and ebuild maintainers. As most software is written implicitly assuming a little-endian target such as AMD64 or ARM and this most commonly causes issues when compiling on PPC/PPC64, so this should be the base case the article deals with. That said, other platforms (where different) and odd edge-cases should also get covered.
- Endianness articles for languages other than C, use Resolving endianness issues in C as a reference.
Project and community
- Introduction to Gentoo Linux (perhaps to replace Benefits of Gentoo) - a more "neutral" description of differences between Gentoo and other distros is needed; not simply a "pro/con" style tit-for-tat, since what's a "pro" to one user may be a "con" for others. - In Process... ( Matthew Marchese (Maffblaster) )
