Our solution - so far: our goal - is to make packaging and distributing software easier, and to offer a place to announce and distribute the resulting packages to the world, as part of openSUSE (the project), though not necessarily of SUSE Linux (the core distribution).
What you are saying is:
SUSE Linux OSS will hence contain additional packages done by the community, that won't be found in SUSE Linux Retail and vice versa, that is what my understanding was so far.
Generally speaking that's correct. But in addition to that I'd like to point out that it will be essential to give up the idea of one centralized distribution... Anyway, let's hold off on this topic and focus on SUSE Linux 10.0 for now! Regards Christoph
