I think using the wiki is a great idea.

Hello,<br>
during my studies I had in different occasions to use ROS. I think it is a =
great tool but it bothers me that I am usually forced to use Ubuntu in orde=
r to have it working easily. In two previous attempts I tried to have it wo=
rking on my gentoo workstations unsuccessfully. I am not sure if other peop=
le may have the same problem or not but in general I feel like there is not=
 much information on how to run it on gentoo either because nobody is doing=
 it or who has it working don&#39;t share the information.<br>

<br>
I have now the basic system working and I would like to somehow document th=
e little things that I had to solve step by step so that other people doesn=
&#39;t have to struggle with it or even for myself in the future. I thoguht=
 on publishing it in <a href=3D"http://wiki.gentoo.org" target=3D"_blank">w=
iki.gentoo.org</a> but I wanted to ask first if it would be a good place. I=
 would&#39;t be a full documentation of something stable but just a bunch m=
odifications and steps that should be taken to compile the base system only=
 tested on my system.<br>

<br>
Thank you<br>
