I have selected these mailinglists as the main community indicator: project, factory, buildservice, wiki and translation.
You might also consider the general purpose lists, like "opensuse". Amongst the big noise, there are people there whose contribution to the community is "simply" to help others.

I also took the survey and filled in whatever I could to help contribute to your survey. But personally, I don't see the relevance of two questions in accordance with the theme of the survey itself, which is about (in my interpretation) how we contribute to openSuse.
1) The question about how worried we are regarding the Novell-MS patent. This issue is nearly a year old, and quite honestly, if it bothers someone that much, they would have defected long ago. I think that answers to this question will skewer the overall intent of the survey itself. In fact, I find the consistent raising of this issue by various camps to be almost pandering to appeal to a certain camp within the open source community, as there are many who disagree that it is an issue and choose to ignore it altogether. 2) The question about whether Novell should customize opensuse with red colors. Hey, I bleed red in support of Novell :-) But I don't see the relevance of this question either. I agree also with Carlos' implication that the survey seems to define "contributions" as code, projects and such. I contribute to opensuse by helping others. I also contribute by asking questions which then raises the awareness of the usability of opensuse in its current form. The survey doesn't seem to recognize that level of contribution. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
