Yes, unfortuantely most people don't see that this feature comparison http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html is as funny/stupid as this one http://i.imgur.com/usftZ.png
See for example here http://en.opensuse.org/Main_Page "It is aimed towards users and developers working on the desktop or server. It is great for beginners, experienced users and ultra geeks alike, in short, it is perfect for everybody!"
Yeah, that's blurbing and boring to me too. But hey, enhance it! Make it fit better!
IMO the whole statement is not really true. "perfect for everybody" is not true for sure! It should be rewritten without advertising affectations but to represent the real project objective.
We as the openSUSE community are waiting for your contribution. Make it sound good while not being boring. Make it sound to invite further people while not excluding all the old users. I'm sure you soon will join the openSUSE maeketing team and then the baby will fligh high. ;)
Hehe, I would more like to see a general mission statement which the marketing team (and packagers) had to respect. My slogan would be like this "If you need a Windows/Ubuntu replacement then opensuse is not for you. Opensuse is a unix like distro for ambitious users, developers and admins - not as conservative as Debian Woody and not as "up-to-date" as Fedora. It's not made for people who have read about Linux in Computer Bild only so far." I'm in doubt it would be accepted without reference to a similar offical mission statement. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
