Second, the contributions corner. It is uninviting for non-technical contributors. There is no mention of it and it does not help at all with the issues we are already facing
It's again a matter of focus. What do we want that the majority of people that visit this page do?
Again, Yes but do we want to exclude non-technical contributors?
No, we want to encourage _all_ contributions so we have to 'sell' contributing itself.
Great, this makes so much more sense!!! However, when we are trying to answer this question, we are no different than other open source projects. I am not really sure what distinguishes us from a new comer's perspective.
For code/tools for instance we very much focus on cross-distribution, unlike all the other competitors. For packaging we very much focus on automatic quality checks rather than rules and supervision. In general we are trying to avoid hierarchy as much as possible. I'm sure we can work out a lot of important differences for contributing to openSUSE.
Hmm, Working out the important differences is really important. "instead of Rules & Supervision" may actually be good or bad in its own sense, however, I agree. Another one is that it is really easy to initiate at openSUSE which might be really difficult in other project. If we can work out on a couple more of these differences, we can actually reword it to make it presentable for the landing page.
