enlightenment-niifaq overlay
I've added some information about our overlay with, also, 'reporing bugs' additional article (to notify users about enlightenment@gentoo.org alias, not everyone like to read emerge output). I just hope my additions are not especially grammatically awful =). If someone is uncomfortable with all my mistakes - sorry, I've done my best to avoid them =) Night Nord 16:58, 7 November 2009 (GMT)

Is enlightenment-niifaq dead?
Is the enlightenment-niifaq overlay dead? /Ni1s 18:14, 2 December 2009 (GMT)


 * enlightenment-niifaq hosted in NightNord's home-server, and have downtimes due to ISP or local troubles. Just try again later. --Evadim 19:33, 20 December 2009 (GMT)


 * Every time I check to see if the niifaq overlay is responsive it is not. What the status of it? Does anyone know? /Ni1s 06:40, 19 January 2011 (GMT)

Overlays
There are now three different overlays mentioned in this article. Maybe it's time to settle on one, say Enlightenments "official"? Ni1s 11:27, 31 May 2010 (GMT)
 * The official enlightenment wiki says the "enlightenment" overlay is the "official" one. Maybe the other one should be removed from this article ...--bebR 11:35, 26 April 2011 (GMT)

Linking the package.keywords.* file
For me linking the file doesn't work. However, when I copy it to the package.keywords folder it works. Could perhaps go into troubleshooting section.
 * I did not have any problem with the symbolic link, everything is ok for the package.keywords. Recent version of Layman does not store the overlay at the same place. It's time to update, but do I need to keep the previous locations? --bebR 11:39, 26 April 2011 (GMT)
 * Forget my last comment, it's already there!! :) --bebR 11:45, 26 April 2011 (GMT)

Separate out content from the two different overlays
I have seen several times that people crop up in Gentoo forums saying that the emerge command tries to emerge e16 instead of e17 even after following this wiki guide. Looking at this wiki guide from a novice point of view, it can be seen that the whole page is a big confusing collection of how-to's. The content for enlightenment overlay is interspersed with the content for niifaq overlay, and overall it is a big mess.

To fix it, the first thing that is required to be done is to separate out the content for enlightenment overlay and niifaq overlay into it's own subheadings. Then, for a fixed overlay, the content will be clearer and step-by-step instructions can be given. Second thing is to rewrite the page so that as few "Note" or "Warning" are present. For example take this note:

Why is this a note? This should be simply combined along with the rest of the text like this:

Such cases are present throughout the whole document and it makes the reading of the document extremely nonlinear.
