opensuse@ - there may be a 100-post subthread where people discuss theoretical aspects of plamoids vs icons on the desktop, and while there's probably nothing technically wrong with that, I'd still prefer not to have those on opensuse@.
Hm why? We want to keep the user lists (opensuse, opensuse-$lang) as generic as possible to make it easy for newcomers. This includes discussing plasmoids vs. icons and general "chat" i think.
Agreed, for many people the desktop is the distro, so there are always going to be 'how do i get my desktop full of icons' threads. We just have to keep the vipers out.
I don't mean questions about how to get desktop icons, I mean pointless discussions, such as [1] where people for some strange reason feel the urge to discuss naming of KDE, which, even if they had a clue, is not a topic that can be solved at openSUSE. That's almost like if opensuse@ had discussions about what kind of icecream people like the most. Maybe I'm just really tired of the endless threads, but I don't think this belongs to a generic user mailing list. That is why I suggested the new mailing list, people could still have a place for their pointless nonsense, and it'd also help with 'openSUSE doesn't allow discussing KDE4' rubbish.
