msgstr ""

#: ../../gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en//management-structure.xml(p):43
msgid "The purpose of the new management structure was to solve chronic management, coordination and communication issues in the Gentoo project. In particular, we had no clearly defined top-level management structure, and no official, regular meetings to communicate status updates between developers serving in critical roles. In general, most communication took place on irc and irregularly via email. There was also little to no accountability, even at a high level, to complete projects on time."
msgstr ""

#: ../../gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en//management-structure.xml(p):53
msgid "Because of this prior state of affairs, it was difficult to set goals and track the status of projects. This lack of communication and coordination also made it difficult for top-level developers to manage their own projects. In addition, we had other chronic problem of not having clearly-defined roles and scopes of executive decision-making authority for top-level developers, which resulted in many top-level developers doubting that they even have the authority to manage their own projects and sub-projects. While this had *never* been the intention of top-level developers, it is the unfortunate result of an unstructured development process: no one knew what was going on, and everyone deferred to the Chief Architect for all executive decisions."
msgstr ""

#: ../../gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en//management-structure.xml(p):67
msgid "Clearly, a plan was needed to swiftly and permanently address these issues by increasing communication, coordination, and accountability. Roles and scopes of executive decision-making authority needed to be defined for top developers so that they have a clear mandate as well as accountability to manage their projects and thus ensure their projects completed their appointed work efficiently and on-schedule."
