My proposal would be to sit together and bring issues to the table and think about resolving those, e.g. with a mailing list/forums integration. Even more important is to understand that forums are needed and it's impossible to align forum users to mailing lists. Get your ass to the forums (sorry!) and interact with the community of 45.000+ users out there. Teach them and lower the border into our community. Is that that difficult. Sorry but if you tell me it actually is, I'm not that sure if you're really serious with the goal in recruitinmg contributors and if I'm not completely out of discussion that's our common goal, isn't it?
thank you sir, yours is one of the most sane and on point notes i seen in this discussion.. i previously questioned the logic of the community holding discussions on a community strategy in two different places, at the same time, with no cross talk.. in my mind, we will not be able to move forward as a community until there is, at last, a 'We'.. it seems to me that with all our hacking power it should be possible to funnel one mail list together with one web forum so we _can_ "sit together" (all able to use their medium of choice) and begin trying to put together a _community_ built on respect, common goals and vision, at last.. i'd propose that all of those who don't want to participate with users, forum participants and helpers be kindly shown the door, and vice-versa.. techno-racist bigotry and cyber-bullying should be stopped dead in its tracks, by the community leaders....or, We might as well just give up on the idea of growing/recruiting new contributors...because the new contributors of five years out are stumbling into the forums wide eyed and excited, everyday... ignore and insult them and another potential contributor is lost, post haste.. as far as i'm concerned those with a hate-users/forum-user attitude like the one used to attack me should be _publically_ and throughly flogged.. peace, DenverD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
