Would someone please explain the difference in purpose between this mailing list and the openSUSE forums? I try to provide assistance on both, but do notice there is often overlap, i.e., occasionally questions posted here have been previously asked/answered at the forums and vice-versa. (I ask the question only in the interest of everyone's most efficient use of time.) [...] Hello list, hello Dennis,
In my private opinion it is more a historical and a bit a net-social difference: * The mailinglists were there first - so why should the users of that that liked it switch to the new NTTP or web format? * The mailinglists are a bit more closed as you need to subscribe to it (and get a lot of messages) to post on it - I am not subscribed to all of them. * Maybe the mailinglists are a bit more 'privat' - most users (unlike me) use real or real sounding names (and not only a link to the openSUSE profile with the real name in it ;-)) in the openSUSE forums most users use a pseudonym/nickname.
