It was an unavoidable consequence of splitting the fora. If only the mailing list and the fora had been bi-gated (like some us did propose).
There's at least three approaches to deal with that;
one, for some devs to participate in the forums as well. Two, for the forums to act as a filter to ensure the important stuff gets passed along to the devs on the ML. Three, to gate the MLs to the forums.
Despite the apparent cultural differences between the two groups, I think it would be advantageous for the project/community to combine them. (that has always been my position). Of course, it would require some changes, technically and otherwise - the mailing list would be the master, the forum just another interface. It would mean requiring subscription for the fora users. It would also mean aligning lists and fora wrt topics, which might take some work (I guess). Just my take on the matter of course. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
