 Daniel Robbins originally wrote the [[Gentoo Linux Philosophy]], and in it he defined the concept of an ideal tool as being something that "just works", does not get in the user's way, and responds to the will of the user rather than forcing the user to work a particular way.

 === Eclass Refactoring ===
-Useful eclasses should be redesigned and integrated into the Portage core to improve Portage performance. In as much as possible, dependencies on bash-based frameworks should be deprecated in favor of core Portage features that provide similar functionality.
+Useful eclasses should be redesigned and integrated into the Portage core to improve Portage performance. In as much as possible, dependencies on bash-based frameworks should be deprecated in favor of core Portage features that provide similar functionality. Update 2011-05-24: Daniel has written new kernel ebuilds that do not use eclasses, so that refactoring of the code can be done. These are working well.

 === Genkernel replacement ===
-Genkernel has not aged well and is prone to failure, and current versions from Gentoo have multiple bugs. A better replacement with a better architecture which properly leverages ebuilds for building the initrd is needed.

-Funtoo Linux is a project of people who agree with the philosophy of the ideal tool, and who are ''passionate'' in our desire to improving technology to be as close to this ideal as possible.

+Funtoo Linux is a project of people who agree with the philosophy of the ideal tool, and who are ''passionate'' in our desire to improve technology to be as close to this ideal as possible. The focus of our efforts is the Gentoo Linux distribution. It is our belief that Gentoo Linux is a very good Linux distribution but has deviated from the original vision as outlined by Daniel, and is capable of being improved significantly. We are passionate about improving Gentoo Linux.
 The development focus of Funtoo Linux is currently directed at the core system, meaning anything on a stage3, portage, core languages, kernels, server applications, and up through X11 and simple window managers. Desktop environments are purposely excluded from our area of focus as there is plenty to fix in the "lower" parts of the system. The goal is to get the above-mentioned parts to a level of quality and maturity that is significantly higher than that in Gentoo Linux right now.

	You may know a way that the core system can be improved. Many times, these involve incorporating your custom "tweaks" into Funtoo Linux core so that others can benefit from them, or providing better support for certain ebuilds that you use regularly.
