Nobody's debating that addressing the needs of the German community is
important. The question, ultimately, is does it make sense to address
the needs of the German community through multiple venues?
Sure, but that's a side issue to this. Let's talk about what open-slx has
control over, since that's the current issue. It doesn't help the issue
by saying "well, someone else is doing their own thing as well", and then
use that as justification.
You raise some new and relevant questions in bringing up Packman, but of
course that's a different discussion and not even related to what we're
talking about with the German community being split up further than it
already is. It's not really a valid defense (not that I want you to feel
you have to be "on defense" here) to, in response to a question about
"what benefit is it to further segment the German community" by saying
"it already is". Further division isn't a *good* thing, and pointing to
the fact that it already is divided really isn't valid justification for
*further* dividing the community. Does that make sense?
I would ask that you please stop trying to divert those questions and
just focus on the topic at hand. Doing that makes it difficult to have a
discussion about the open-slx piece of the puzzle.

The Team has decided to givup the german Newsletter
(http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-wiki-de/2010-12/msg00004.html). I
wasn't a member of the german translation team. I just decided to wake
up a similar Newsletter.
Which Infrastructure we're using is irrelevant. The open-slx Base is for
german Users and a german Newsletter is a good place too.

Otherwise we can ask why Packman the Packages not hosts in our Build
Service? Imagine that we have some Packages as double. We importing the
stuff from Packman and use this Packages in our BuildService. Most this
Action runs for building important Depencies, that can't solved by our
Build Service.
So i think that importing the whole stuff is a better solution. We don't
need more Package bases.
