Hello Friends,
i'm Sascha Manns from the Weekly News.
In the last issues we had the Section "New/Updated Applications" in the
Weekly News. We plan to have one KDE and one GNOME Program and one
other.
Me myself works in the KDE Ground and OBS. For GNOME i have an RSS-Feed
(
Gnomefiles.org). But if the Feed info me for an new/updated Application,
this not means, that the OBS hosted this Version.
My wish is to find an GNOME-Programmer for OBS, who writes regularly for
the Weekly News Section.
Is it possible for you, to write regularly one Article per Issue about
an new GNOME-Program in OBS? You can see new Programs quicker than me
:-)
Have a nice XMAS...

This is a great idea.
The other area is I have answered an unknown amount of questions
pertaining to video drivers, xorg, how to set display up on all
desktops used by SUSE. If one Googles this there are so many
different variations a new user becomes lost. I have actually tried
the ones suggested on OpenSUSE and while some worked, others did not.
I decided to start with Intel video drivers for this seems to be
lacking by both xorg and OpenSUSE and Intel's description on how to
get this up and running on Linux is a new users nightmare. I realize
the drivers are outside of OpenSUSE and come from the manufacturers
but somehow, somewhere we must come together with an easier way of
getting all this to work. The documentation really lacks for a new
user in a way they would comprehend and understand. I realize that a
user with knowledge of Linux could understand and most likely not have
a problem with understanding what opening a terminal means, going to
root, etc but to a new user for one, would be, what terminal, how do I
even find the terminal, what is a path, a cd (or why do I get no such
directory). It seems who ever writes the documentation thinks that
everyone installing or setting up OpenSUSE knows the Linux commands or
structure. The other problem I see is if a person does create
documentation that even a new user can understand they get criticized
by the others. The mentality of some Linux users is beyond me as they
seem to think that everyone should be a geek or should understand
everything out of the box. As much as I do not like Ubuntu they do
have the ease of use down as far as a new user installing it. Even
they do have faults like their root configurations and other minor
flaws but to attract new users we must have documentation that they
can read and understand. As much as I hate to say this Linux has the
worst documentation I have ever seen in computing. I have read
computer forensic software documentation that is easier to understand
then some of the Linux ones. Snapshots are great but only if it is
documented as to what it actually means and what to do.
I ordered the boxed edition of 11.1 which comes with manuals and I
plan to create something for new users and use a step by step process
by category (with explanation). Basically the installation and set
up first, then later add on to it to explain certain areas of
OpenSUSE. I am mainly after showing the new user what and how and
know I will probably be ridiculed by the advanced user. The main
complaints I receive in the OpenSUSE.us forum is the lack of
documentation that a new user can understand.
