There are different angles, and everyone has her own set of priorities on why she participates into a project like openSUSE (or KDE, or JBoss, or whatever). I just wanted to stress that in _your_ opinion, the goal should be to reach out to many users, and a more or less large proportion of the current contributor community might relate to that, but it certainly isn't the only option.
You are completely right. It's not the only possible goal, and I think that's
why we are having the strategy discussion. To come up with a common goal.
Personally I'm not interested in a project which doesn't target a wide range
of users. But that might be only me.
I do agree that a great community and having fun with being part of the
community and working on openSUSE is an essential aspect. I would actually see
that as a necessary condition for whatever we do, regardless of the goal.
