What do you think?
I think I'm missing the background (which is likely the post on opensuse@opensuse.org) because, well, I'm not quite what feedback you'd like to have :-) Can you elaborate more on what's the issue that is being discussed?
Sorry :-) It is one of threads that was off topic for the opensuse@opensuse.org and went zig-zag. This is where it starts: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-03/msg00002.html = Issue = The issue that should be discussed is why after 3.5 years since openSUSE exists, Ubuntu is still growing faster than anybody else. What they do that we don't. Martin's answer has some valid points. We proclaimed as a goal "the most useful Linux" but what that means is defined just as much as "user friendly". What groups of people are happy with it. = Numbers = I believe in numbers, but my statistics skills are basic, so I need serious help there, with ideas how to organize data collection as permanent feedback. There is a lot of user feedback in mail lists and forum, but the best that we have from that is "there was a lot of complains on <name feature>". There is no numbers behind "a lot" and even worse there is no positive feedback backed with numbers. If you add ubuntu.com and fedoraproject.org in Traffic History Graph on: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/opensuse.org than it is obvious that opensuse.org + fedoraproject.org is on par with Ubuntu, which suggests one possible approach, that, I'm sure, will benefit users of both, but it is not the only approach. = Goal = The goal is to give openSUSE numerical feedback, that we and upstream projects can use to decide what to work on. Mentioned links can give us measure how good we are, but we need more details. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
