I bet most of you have heard of this website, news.opensuse.org. Sometimes people post random vaguely openSUSE-related stuff there. Now I thought it would be fun to create a team around that - work a bit more structured :D
Excellent idea!
People with the rights to post there now post whatever they like, whenever they like. Not that that is always a bad thing, but having a little more oversight to guarantee quality and timing would be good (eg 3 articles on one day then nothing for 3 days sucks; and sometimes there is some Germanglish in there too).
Yes, I am also concerned about the frequency of posts there. As an outsider I would say that the page is rather dead. I think it should have more technical content. Especially about new projects to pull in interested people that don't read the mailing lists (yet).
On the other hand it may also be a matter of presentation because there is already a lot of stuff in the blogs, twitter, etc. Maybe it might be better to aggregate these news sources there or somewhere else?
Henne actually presented something like that at the openSUSE conference: turn news.opensuse.org into a kind of aggregator which shows posts selected from Planet by the editors. in time, this might indeed be happening - for now we'll just try to improve the current news.o.o :D
Yeah but still dont like the idea, for that we have the planet himself. We have enough official news, for the news.o.o the only point is we have to find a good way or better the right people who takes care of the writings. When it would be more an editoral, that would be nice but still there are the OWN who picks mostly from the planet. The plan from henne was to increase the count of news. But that set mass over quality. So I am sure we lost more readers of new, they really like to read only the important things instead of winning. But structured team would be a step forward in the right direction br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
