[opensuse] Fwd: openSUSE Social Networking Demo Site
Here is a message that I sent to the -project list. Sending it out to
others for more comments.
I don't view this as a one size fits all, but another means of
gathering and communicating. For some MLs are best, others it might
be irc, etc. Not sure that I view this as a means of support, but a
place to hang out and get to know more people with common interests
within the openSUSE community.
Thanks,
Stephen

To me wikis don't jump out and scream community as much as a social site. I set up a demo site: http://www.opensuse-community.com
I know that is extremely similar to http://www.opensuse-community.org . I figured that worst case I could setup a demo site there. Whatever the outcome is, the domain can stay or I can redirect it. I'm interested in hearing your feedback.
Thanks, Stephen (decriptor)

Not sure that I follow. The site? The site is using blogging software. Though its become more of a CMS and with buddypress it turns it more into a social networking site with blogs (though disabled in this setup) Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Seems real good to me. Have you seen Ning though? Used very popularily around the world, you can see from the Network Search function... http://www.ning.com/ I've played around with it but then deleted my site. You can host it on your own like how Chris Prillo did at http://www.geeks.com... But this seems good; it loads real fast and I just created a account under jaloola. I'm not familiar with BuddyPress, though it looks like a customized Wordpress.

Just checked again, that other email was a draft that I wrote about a hour ago and back then it was a actual community... Now it's a wiki???? I really don't like wikis as Social Networking sites...

Not sure why you think its a wiki. I did post a url to the community wiki (opensuse-community.ORG), but the social site is opensuse-community.COM. It is using buddypress which is a plugin/system on top of wordpress mu. Cheers, Stephen

I am so sorry; I got confused and just clicked on the first link I saw in your original email again. I thought it was the same, I didn't look at the gTLD.... Sorry. And I do not think it's a wiki now :), I mentioned that in my other email (the first one)...
