This means we should be absolutely crystal clear on what that value-proposition is, which in some people's book, including mine, is the combo snapper + btrfs + tumbleweed-cli + openQA, which means a cheap ticket for superb stability in a bleeding edge environment, which both Linux pros and freshmen should adore.
Totally agreed. We should be clear on the value propos of what we offer *and* strongly communicate those. Three angles on that (and the hope that some volunteers may be picking up on some of them since I don't have bandwidth right now): (1) REVIEWER GUIDES I have heard some companies, and presumably project, create so called Reviewer Guides - short documents talking about the key points to be aware of and explore (and how to best) and hopefully then write about. (2) GOOGLING Googling for Tumbleweed gives me https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed as the first hit - which is for downloading it, and I do not see any positioning or even links to one there. The next two hits are https://de.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed and https://www.opensuse.org where the former, and second hit, hardly talks to strong points, either. (3) WIKIPEDIA https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#openSUSE_Tumbleweed (German) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#Factory_&_Tumbleweed (English) mostly talk about technicalities, not strengths or attraction.
