Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312932, revision 1 Title: Have mail notifications in Connect openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Connect is by far not annoying enough - it does not engage people enough right now. Besides improving the feed functionality (see related request) it would also help a lot if Connect allowed for email notifications. Test Case: Comment in a discussion. If you, after that, receive mail about new comments, all is well. Use Case: Person X is engaged in a discussion in Connect. Thanks to the email notification she knows that there have been responses! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want people to use Connect, don't we? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312932

[New: openFATE 312001] Add email related functionality to connect.opensuse.rog

Feature added by: Richard Bos (rbos) Feature #312001, revision 1 Title: Add email related functionality to connect.opensuse.rog openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Richard Bos (rbos) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please add the the possibility to have additions and updates emailed to users, besides an RSS feed alone. The functionality could be called 'Recieve email notifications' to enable it. A possibility to send an email to the group, as group owner, would be appreciated. The functionality could be called 'Send email to group'. Add above the different options in the menu on left side of group landing page would be nice, to be better differentiate the tasks. For example: Actions -------- Group discussion Group calendar Group polls Invite someone Leave group Manage ------- Manage group operators Edit group Notification ------------- RSS feed Stop email notification (does not exist yet) Is clearer than: Manage group operators Edit group Invite someone Leave group Group discussion Group calendar Group polls -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312001

[New: openFATE 314366] openSUSE developers efforts has been fragmented, i think.

Feature added by: Ali H Zadeh (ilAli) Feature #314366, revision 1 Title: openSUSE developers efforts has been fragmented, i think. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ali H Zadeh (ilali) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To whom it may concern, I think openSUSE developers efforts has been fragmented because of lacking focus in one Desktop Environment. I think developing an independent and community driven linux distro such as openSUSE and trying releasing that with more than one DE such as KDE, Gnome, ... cause to some problems such as fragmenting developers effort and some times delay in releasing distro (openSUSE 12.2 delays). most of people out of this forum advise their friends to use openSUSE if they want a sweat KDE experience. it shows that openSUSE reputation is about it's integrity and focus on KDE. nobody advise his/her friend to use openSUSE with Gnome or XFCE or ... (all of these DEs are OK but openSUSE users usually use KDE and think openSUSE with KDE is the best). i want to suggest openSUSE developers to only focus on KDE. they could make an excellent distro with one DE instead of make a good distro with 2 avasilable DE. and for users that may want to try other DEs, they could use suse studio. i think it would be very useful to start a Poll about this suggestion. i started a thread about my suggestion in openSUSE forums in this address: http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/other-forums/looking-something-ot… thanks.

[New: openFATE 314383] Easily create add-on media
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 May '15

Feature added by: Vaibhav Kaushal (vaibhavkaushal123) Feature #314383, revision 1 Title: Easily create add-on media openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vaibhav Kaushal (vaibhavkaushal123) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hello, Currently it seems that OpenSUSE wont allow any easy way to create an Add-On media which I can reditribute to friends so that they just install the OS and pop-in the Add-On DVD (which I would give them) and install the extra software. For example, if I have VLC media player installed on my system and I want a friend of mine to have it on his OpenSUSE (but he does not have an internet connection), then I could use the Add-On media creator to (automatically) find and copy the required packages and dependencies and burn it to disk. This disk should then enable my friend to install VLC media player easily! I think there is one such feature in the YaST but it never worked properly for me. Regards, Vaibhav -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314383

Feature added by: Matti Vahalinna (Waxborg) Feature #312914, revision 1 Title: Installation media identifier openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Matti Vahalinna (waxborg) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When booting from an installation media the first thing the user would see would be an identifying greeter, like "Welcome to openSUSE 12.1 i586 network installer" This would help the user to be sure exactly waht is going to be installed Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would help the user to know for sure exactly what is going to be installed, right from the beginning. And abort if installation of a wrong version is about to begin. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312914

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 17 May '15

Feature added by: Viraj Sinha (virajs07) Feature #313385, revision 1 Title: ownCloud Dolphin integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Viraj Sinha (virajs07) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: This plugin will enable kde users to sync their folders with owncloud with just a click in their file manager. The user will just right click on the folder he/she wants to share and a proper sync - desync option will come up in the menu which will enable the user to link/delink his folder with owncloud. Test Case: The user clicks on the folder to sync/desync it with owncloud but the folder doesn't get sync. This might be because there is no owncloud instance on the machine of the user. The user will be prompted to take the necessary actions then and will also have an option to report his error if it is an internal working error. Otherwise if everything is working then the user won't face much of a problem and successfully the option clicked by the user will be performed on the folder Use Case: 1) Achieve Goal The user right clicks on the folder or the file that he wants to share and gets the option of syncing/ desyncing the folder/file with owncloud alongwith the regular right-click options 2) Abandon Goal he user right clicks on the folder or the file that he wants to share and somehow doesn't get the option of syncing/ desyncing the folder/file with owncloud then the appropriate message showing error and cause of error is shown to the user with the option of reporting the error Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The present scenario in owncloud is if there is an instance of owncloud running on the machine then the user will need to login there . After logging in user will have to choose the files/folders he wants to share. If the user is browsing through his files he doesn't have the option of choosing it there only . He will have to come to his browser window and go to owncloud tab to share. This once implemented will make life easier for people using dolphin as a file manager -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313385

Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #312328, revision 1 Title: add a facebook like activity windows on connect with openfate logs openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Connect.opensuse.org have to be enhanced to be usefull. One of the main feature of Facebook is the activity window (sorry, don't know the english name, it's the windows where you see all the activity of the friends). Specially we should be able to follow there all (or part) of the openfate activity. Now most openfate entries are never read by openSUSE members (at large), because openfate is not easy to scan without special interest. Of course what I would like the better whould be to have openfate on facebook :-), but have it on connect would be good Use Case: each time somebody enter an idea in openfate, have a message on connect or facebook. so any interested people could comment and vote + or - -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312328
