Thanks for the feedback!

Quoting http://en.opensuse.org/Members, the current wording is:

=========
To apply for an openSUSE membership, head over to users.openSUSE.org, login,
and then go to your profile page and select the "I want to Become a Member"
link, and there mention your contributions (hint: register your nick first at
freenode. Contributions taken into consideration will include -- but are not
exclusive -- to:

    * Code and Packaging
    * Wiki Editing
    * Bug reporting and triaging
    * Translation
    * Continued User Support on any Communication Medium
    * Giving openSUSE Talks/Presentation and/or promoting openSUSE
    * Help openSUSE as an Ambassador

Please ensure that you have also signed the Guiding Principles in the User
Directory.
=========

Is this something you think we should soften? I must admit it feels okay
to me, but I might not be the best person to ask...

There might be some additional wording on users.opensuse.org when you
click the "I want to Become a Member". Can someone who's not a member
look at the page and then quote the text here? (Yes, once you're a
member, it's a bit hard to see the page...)

Thanks,

Vincent
