There are different angles, and everyone has her own set of priorities on why she participates into a project like openSUSE (or KDE, or JBoss, or whatever). I just wanted to stress that in _your_ opinion, the goal should be to reach out to many users, and a more or less large proportion of the current contributor community might relate to that, but it certainly isn't the only option.
You are completely right. It's not the only possible goal, and I think that's why we are having the strategy discussion. To come up with a common goal.
Personally I'm not interested in a project which doesn't target a wide range of users. But that might be only me.
I agree that our target market should be the users rather than the technical community. Only one of the strategies identifies a target group of users, and then it defines this group in part through technologies rather than characteristics of the users. Focussing on mobile users is for me a good strategy, and will encompass the interoperability (horrible word) and interfaces which I think important.
