Hi all,
Check out the comment from Lars on this post: http://zonker.opensuse.org/2009/03/16/what-belongs-on-announce/
Specifically:
People installing openSUSE for the first time get the “well known popup” during their first login - OK. We tell people that they should create an account on opensuse.org to participate in the wiki, bugzilla, forums, … We invite them to many places of opensuse.org - and even I didn’t know every subdomain like:
* apparmor.opensuse.org, * crashdb.opensuse.org or * lizards.opensuse.org * …
Looks like openSUSE developers again and again fall into the trap creating lots of tools and ideas without informing their users about the great stuff they do. (Sidenote: what about a list of such subdomains with their background information in the weekly news? -> Zonker, please drive this ;-)
So - what about it? Should we have a "beginner's section" in every issue of the weekly news? A boilerplate that can be in every issue, because every issue is likely to have newer openSUSE users who don't know their way around yet -- and openSUSE users who have been around for a while can simply gloss over it.
We can add a boilerplate - e.g. after or together with the "Feedback" section. Who collects data and does a preview ? Best, Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
