Easy on Manu. Its a very recent work in progress. Don't jump so quickly on a hatchling.

Amd moreover, Manu is a part of our team and deserves a more constructive form of criticism as I know he is often open to it. Let's treat our fellow team members with respect and encouragement than negative words that derail initiatives.

Yea, apologies, I let my frustration get the better of me, but when you get 22k connection speed on a good day, then on rare occasions, it overwhelms ones better judgement. Cheers GL

Javier,

Pretty good idea, also I believe will be good if you talk a little bit about our project and idea with Manu because as I know he is working on a project called suseware, http://suseware.com/home/ and If I'm not mistake the main purpose of suseware is to delivery training materials for openSUSE using moodle as LMS tool.

What a bloody awful site, ten minutes loading before I gave up and in true "Geek" fashion a series of meaningless icons with no explanation for what they are for or mean.

...

PS Do not forget to take a chat with Manu about your thoughts

After seeing that site I wonder if there is any point when the author is obviously ignoring the fact that 70% of the world connect via dialup.

frustrating!

Dear Graham,

We would be glad to hear your positive thoughts!

Hi Izabel, I would love to be able to contribute, but unfortunately I can't get past a blank page with a row of unlabelled icons that seemingly do nothing except highlight on mouseover. and on checking the source, I now see that they don't link anywhere. Unfortunate and frustrating to me because, as you can no doubt tell from my sig, training is my "thing". Cheers GL

Hi All I know it might be pretty hard for you to reach suseware.com. I understand it perfectly. Moreover, I did not like the home page too and yes things needs to be linked. Ok. The idea is over here http://piratepad.net/ilZIqohN83 One part is this www.suseware.com/moodle The other part is www.suseware.com/planet Since I had no home page and did not like it, that is why I did not add it at the index page, instead added it at the planet. I would like to have the homepage something in the lines of thedocumentfoundation I did not know the public would notice it so quickly, I will quicken my work as fast as possible. Also if anyone like to help me with anystuff, I had be more than happy to have you. Again, Grauham I bought the domain on a very cheap server, it mightbe down. I am again sorry for that. I have my exams coming up, so my work might be a little slow till wednesday and maybe no work at all, but guys I promise I will do that as soon as this is over and post it here for again loads of bashing and I improve upon it. Thanks a lot Manu On Thu, 2010-09-30 at 14:13 +1000, Helen wrote:

Oh right. wondered if it was just me.

They -DO- have a text show up underneath as you mouse over, but it's grey against the dark background so hard to see, certainly on my laptop.

I do like to periodically remind developers that not everyone is 25 with 20/20 vision. (They seem to love forcing people to use pale grey ten point sans fonts ..... "Dear support, I can't read the text, it's too small." "Use a bigger font on your browser then." "Dear support, your text is breaking the container, I the words are dissapearing/overlapping." ... "You're using a non-standard font size...." AAARRGGHHHH)

Very elegant icons, by the way. I'll be keen to see the rest of the site.

Why don't you run it inside the project then? I think something like moodle would be a great addition to the openSUSE project. You seem to have an idea how to run and use it so why don't we start moodle.opensuse.org on an opensuse.org server instead of your own? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
