Therefor I would like to propose something similiar for this list. As with the german list, this IMO should not be an official statement from SuSE but something we as members of this list create. If there is interest, I could do a translation of the current German etiquette and we could use that as a starting point.
Comments?

I am not sure I like the idea but as long as there is a concensus I think I can go along. The problem with rules, guidelines, etc. is they mean nothing if everyone doesn't follow them. How do you make someone obey the rules? Refuse to respond? Kick them off the list? I am guilty of breaking each rule at least once. What does that mean? Do I get no help? I can easily see newbies and not-so-newbies violating these guidelines more than once. These are the people who need the help the most and we want them to learn how to use the mailing list before we will help them learn how to use the OS? Linux does not make sense to the masses, I know people who have trouble with Windows and in addition the people who know won't talk to them unless they jump through the right hoops. I know this is the worst way to look at but if you are frustrated already then that is how you will see it. Like I said at the top, I have reservations but, me personally, am willing to go along with the concensus. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
