Hi, Christian:
<Fraser_Bell> Thanks. BTW: I would join Heroes and work on the Connect.o.o replacements, if I had any idea what I was doing. But, not till elections are over. <cboltz> :-) <cboltz> the important part of connect.o.o is handling the membership and maybe being a "phonebook" for openSUSE <cboltz> the other parts (groups, polls etc.) are more or less useless and can easily be dropped <snip>
<cboltz> Fraser_Bell: I also like the https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/$USERNAME pages so if you work on a replacement and keep them, I'll be more than happy ;-) <Fraser_Bell> Yes.
<snip>
cboltz> oh, I'm quite sure someone will happily upgrade you if you promise to do the work ;-) <Fraser_Bell> cboltz: Wait until after the Elections, please, I am now down to 20 pounds soaking wet and red, bleary eyes!!!! Elections are over. Let's get started.
How about we think of a way to block out all these d*ck*w**ds that create accounts on it without even knowing what an operating system is, let alone linux, and then just wipe out everything that is not posted by an active member of the community as determined by the same mechanism. My first thought of how to filter could be: To be trustworthy, a Member has to have one or more of: - an active maintainership of packages and / or projects on the build service, or at least a home project with noticeable activity in it - logged into one of the IRC channels under their registered irc nickname in the last 30 days - posted on one of the mailinglists in the last 30 days - a pgp key in the public keyserver infrastructure that is certified by at least one other trustworthy person, trustworthy meaning either a public gpg CA like heise, or another already confirmed opensuse member Sounds any way of doable?
