You're project has allready hit the list. I think it is a good start.=20
Currently we are mainly focussing on what we want from an installer. It wil=
l=20
probably be some kind of hands-on installer with lots of flexibility. You a=
re=20
more than welcome to participate in the discussion (and later=20
implementation). We are not really ready for implementation, but when we ha=
ve=20
decided on the features/design we can certainly try to incorporate pen2 int=
o=20
the installer.

=46rom my impression the pen2 installer is mainly aimed at providing an eas=
y=20
procedure. In general gentoo tries to have the first point of allowing=20
choice. From that respect I think that more choice would be desired in the=
=20
installer, but I think pen2 is indeed a good start.
