I'd like to mention that my original suggestion has nothing to do with changing the current list format, which I agree would be a regrettable change. I'm recommending the same list with lots more happy users, because the likelihood that their question gets answered goes up dramatically. There have been so far, almost no comments on the merits of the original idea. Any SuSE employees care to comment on the likelihood of SuSE assigning/hiring someone to the task I described? An SuSE gurus care to be the first to volunteer their expertise? As I envisaged it, each "guru" would spend no more than 1 hour per week on this. If that means we need 14, or 21, or 28... gurus instead of 7, then so be it. Division of labor my friends. It's one of the key things that makes open source work. -- Brian Support EFF! http://www.eff.org/ They're defending YOUR rights online.
