I still don't understand why majority does not consider IRC + Mailing Lists just enough.
Ultimately it's because not everyone's preferences are the same as yours. :)
Basically, users needing support should come where the maintainers and/or power users willing to help are. Not the other way around :)
That's the old paradigm. Users now self-organize, and that's what causes the fragmentation.
ACK.
There is probably more expertise in the forums (for some topics) than on the MLs. Or in StackOverflow, for that matter.
I suspect so too, although it depends on which ML - looking outside openSUSE, and you will see even relatively new projects using mailing lists. Also ancient projects like e.g. postfix, where the knowledgeable hard core is found on the mailing list. Like Gryffus, I believe the old paradigm was better, and like you, I know things have changed. I just worry that they may not have changed for the better. Not that there is much anyone can do about it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.0°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
