You must be - I'm sure the list is members-only.

Providing a source ISO would,

* make it a lot easier to download (and verify) the full source for a
release
* make it easier for mirrors to provide the source. As noted above
hardly any do right now, I suspect if source ISOs were available
nearly all would.

Isn't http://download.opensuse.org mirrored around the world? I think
you get redirected depending on your location (mirrorbrain or something
like that).

Could you please consider making source ISOs and making it easy to
find on the website?

Probably a new item for openFATE: http://features.opensuse.org/

P.S. it was difficult for me to participate, I had to create a novell
account (which wanted to send me things by default) in order to use
bugzilla, and I had to subscribe to opensuse-project in order to send
this mail.

Yes, subscribing to a mailing list is one the smaller hurdles.
