Mailing list descriptions on opensuse.org wiki
I'm thinking of making the following edits. Please tell me if you find them inaccurate. http://www.opensuse.org/Communicate#openSUSE_Project_Mailing_Lists opensuse for general discussions about the openSUSE project. This list is NOT for issues around SUSE Linux, please go to suse-linux-e or opensuse-factory instead. I would edit it to read: opensuse for general discussions about de openSUSE *development* project. For general questions pertaining to released SUSE Linux versions (eg. 9.3, 10.0) please use suse-linux-e http://www.opensuse.org/Communicate#SUSE_Linux_Mailing_Lists suse-linux-e for general discussions about SUSE Linux. There are mailing lists with high traffic also available in german, japanese, and spanish. I would edit it to read: suse-linux-e for general discussions about released SUSE Linux versions. This list has many subscribers and high traffic. You have the best chances of getting answers to your questions if you ask them here. Also available in German, Japanese and Spanish.

I wrote the mesage here to check that my understanding is right. The purpose of the edit was to direct general SUSE Linux questions to suse-linux-e and keep opensuse@ focused on development, ideas for future versions etc. I think the reference to opensuse-factory would confuse people even more. Especially since I'm rather confused too. Is the following correct: opensuse@ bugs, issues about alpha, beta, ideas for future opensuse-factory@ precisely about the package versions in the Factory Distribution. (alpha+, beta+). ?

Right, openSUSE@ is meant to facilitate discussion on the openSUSE project in general. openSUSE-factory@ is focused on the current develment version of SUSE Linux, that will eventually become SUSE Linux x.y. And suse-linux-e@ (and friends) is centered around released versions of SUSE Linux...

I'v refined your edits a bit and hope that it's all clear now ;) Regards Christoph
