We received the following email and to me it sounds like there are some ways we could lower the bar to make contribution easier (including better documentation). Is this something you want to consider doing after osc11? Andreas ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: annoying the new Suse user Date: Friday, August 26, 2011, 01:05:50 From: Bill LaChenal <billachenal(a)gmail.com> To: admin(a)opensuse.org Hi, Now, I appreciate that this is only going to everyone the once, but it is a regular pain in the rectum. Just thought I'd let you know, because the *first few minutes* are SOooo important, n'est-ce pas? So perhaps you could just c*onsider the new user* and change something. And this is just so ANNOYING: Well, I just found a report on the Suse site which I wanted to add to, just to be helpful & further the cause. This means I need to register with Novell. OK, fine, did that. The the pita starts. It seems Novell sends a 'plz confirm' message to new-user's email. Yeah, fine, but it *doesn't tell you that **that *(and *not everyone* does do that, note), so I waste valuable effort-seconds getting my Suse attempted login refused. pita. Right, I do the confirm, log into Suse. But, again pita, I've now lost the ref for the bug report, & can't get back there. Back-arrow on browser just goes into a hole, lost, & suffer pain. Not even in the history, for some reason. (plz excuse the ref to back, & hole, & pain) SO there we are Change something, make it better?
