Fwd: [opensuse-project] Suggestions and critiques from a little group of desktop users
Hi All, thanks for your answers. :)
But I wanted to write this email to state that I really appreciate the thought and effort you (and others) have clearly put in this email, and the professional and constructive way you've put your thoughts across.
Emails like this is how good changes get started, thank you
Thank you very much, I am pleased to see that someone of the Board is following my little summary of "problems". Actually those are not big problems that could make not working openSUSE, but small things that users notice in the every-day use, so they make difference between one distribution to the others.
Really worried about the documentation area as a whole, and the wiki particularly. It's really difficult to find what you search for if you don't know your way.
Yes, I agree. Actually searching in the wiki is very "difficult" because by default not all namespaces are enabled in the "Advanced" panel. For instance [0], why "openSUSE", "SDB", "HCL" are not enabled by default? However this problem is mitigated by the fact that most people search through Google and find directly what they are looking for. Furthermore, some pages are not so well written. Take a look, for example, at How to migrate from Windows [1]. That page doesn't explain how to really migrate, is just a set of old informations about Linux, openSUSE and OpenSource stuff... I think that it should consist of simple paragraphs each of them linking to complete articles, something like: - Introduction -- What is FOSS software, underline that "migration" means also change some habits... -- Suggestions: always backup all your datas, do scandisks/defrags on Windows... - Some example of FOSS software for different case of use... - Pros of Linux over Windows - Pros of openSUSE over other Linux desktop/server distributions - oS Edu Li-f-E, Build Service, Zypper, all DE equally supported and so on... That's just a short summary, I don't want to go off-topic here. We can talk about it in a different thread.
