The original posting went to both this list and -project.
So, any responses also should have been sent to this list, no?
Why? I'm all for this idea but until now I hadn't responded here. I went to the irc channel mentioned in the original post and said so directly, and and had a little opening discussion in real-time.
Brian, I'm not really sure what you are trying to convey here in your response.
However, if you are trying to put forward the idea that there was the opportunity to use an IRC channel to discuss this topic then please understand that not everyone has the means to be able to access IRC - let alone have the ability to access this forum other than using a dial-up connection.
(BTW, are you the Brian White who was providing the tutorials on Linux some years ago and to which I was a subscriber?)

I was saying that I don't see at all why all responses should have to be here. He made a suggestion about forming an advocacy group and asked for any interested people to contact him. Which I did. That was a valid response to the post which did not appear here. One might very well ALSO say something here like "yeah great idea" just for the heck of it and to tell everyone else here that you too like this idea, but the primary and ongoing discussion of the idea does not have to take place here and probably shouldn't. If the idea goes anywhere someone should probably set up a seperate mail list, not actually on or hosted by opensuse either. An irc channel is just a way to converse right now using an existing facility without having to set up a mail list and just happened to be convenient for me too.
OK, thanks for the clarification.
My name is Brian White, but no, no tutorials.
OK, wrong man - but with the same name :-) . Nevertheless, I find your responses to questions very similar to that "other White" which is what made me ask the question. The information provided is superlative.
