Traffic over the past year or more on the support lists and forums seems to have gone way down.
Mailing lists are kinda a blast from the past. Messengers and chat tools have taken over from that. Not that I like it but that's a reality we have to face. People younger than ~20 years are just not used to the legacy tools or may not even know them. Furthermore they might not want have yet another platform to use just to get their toes into the pool.
Engagement in openSUSE mailing lists is quite painful compared to most other distribution lists, because we don't have a nice interaction model for our mailing lists. Compare our lists to Fedora's, and ours are not really searchable, not easily subscribable, and just straight-up not that usable. Stasiek has been planning on helping with making the mailing lists a lot better with a nice openSUSE-flavored theme for HyperKitty and Postorius. The Mailman 3 stack landed in Tumbleweed recently, so that process can begin. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
