With the exception of houghi's DVD script, almost all the mails in the past two months on the lists have been about "my soundcard doesn't work", "Xen doesn't work", and of course "zypp/zmd problem". While that's fine on opensuse-factory or suse-linux-e, it's not on this list, and there hasn't been anything else, at least not as far as I can remember.
This is a general problem on mailing lists and it won't go away as long as people on this list really answer all of the (in principle) OT emails. It needs combined effort to achieve a solution.
To be fair, although this list is described as "opensuse General discussion about the openSUSE (development) project" on the wiki, it's has a slightly misleadingly moniker and has so from the outset. I've always thought it should be more implicitly named, e.g. opensuse-devel which leaves no grounds for confusion. Perhaps it's time to start afresh with a review of the mailing lists and hopefully draw more people who are interested in contributing to the development of the project but aren't particularly interested in day to day user support?
