I tried my luck on the factory list with asking about the plans, goals and dreams :-) for the comming releases. Seen from Novell´s point of view. There is no such thing as Novell's point of view. Thats why you have a hard time getting that answer. Novell is a Company and asking about specifics like that is like asking about the hair color of Novell.
What you can get is the plans, goals and dreams of the individual People (including people from Novell) working on this Project formulated and consolidated in the Projects plans[0], goals[1] and dreams[2].
In short: You are asking for something that does not exists :)
Ok :-)
But what about where do Novell want to put their development resources? What areas do Novell want to improve to get their professional product to a higher standard? The pro products are based upon the open product so some priorites are surly present?
Of course. But the tail(novell) does not wag the dog(opensuse). So its the openSUSE project that plans (in the just released openFATE) and then everyone, including the novell developers, execute. Of course also the SUSE Linux Enterprise people plan, so do most of the individual teams and these plans influence each other. As you see its not that easy and straightforward as you might think. There is no simple top-to-bottom command structure.
But it´s not so easy to influence the direction of the devlopment without being a developer.
Nothing is easy :) But it is for sure possible.
That´s understandable as most developers are doing what they want to do and not assigning their capabilities to the best of the overall project.
I am a developer and i can tell you that this is really not true. What makes you say that? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
