Reading Felix-Nicolai's blog post, I'd like to get your input on the following statement from him:
I believe that openSUSE is supposed to be a community based and community driven product. While many devs work for Novell and do great work, openSUSE does also depend on its many users. So they should get a hear. It is not OK to only raise this issue on a factory mailinglist - a mailinglist a regular user will never see.
* factory was setup as list for future development of the openSUSE distribution. Why is that not working? Where would you expect to have general discussion about the direction of the distribution?
I would expect a larger policy issue to be discussed on -project rather than factory.
It's good to get input and help with prioritization but how can we get more people working on KDE to maintain KDE3 and to improve KDE4?
As Bryen pointed out - we need to start finding ways to help interested parties build the skills to contribute. The Helping Hands project that Bryen started may be one way to go about this. Instead of targeting end-user applications, a weekly Helping Hands and resources around building packages, etc., may go a long way.
