[opensuse-project] Most popular forums
If I go out to the Communicate page I see two forums listed as the most
popular forums.
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate
I don't understand why the Novell sponsored openSUSE forums are not on
the front page. It is a very popular and useful forum for openSUSE. It
has an NNTP interface and a newly designed web interface.
http://forums.novell.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11
And it is sponsored and staffed by Novell and community members.
While I understand why SUSEforums.net is there, I feel that
http://forums.novell.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11 should be listed in place
of SUSELinuxSupport.de if we are going to limit it to two.

Why don't you just add them to the page. It is a wiki.

If anyone is going to add again without discussion then I will revert again. Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

If the page is that restricted, why isn't it locked from regular user
editing?

If the page is that restricted, why isn't it locked from regular user editing? This is not a restricted page. It's just not very useful to name all forums at first level. So there is a need to select a few - best the most popular. a) it's a wiki - any change is possible, but can be reverted by anyone b) getting common agreement works best - if Novell forums are as popular as

I am not a forum user so, I really can not speak to that topic. But if
the Novell listing is a real good forum. I think it should be listed.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi Joe Is it. Interesting, it's more or less 10 years I'm using and contributing heavily to (open)S[uU]SE and it's the first time ever that I hear about that forum. I'm not interested in using web forums so that might be a reason ;) Note that we pretty much discarded having a Novell-sponsored forum because it would be forbidden to link to the most important community package repositories (such as Packman) because of the potential legal problems involved in doing so (uncrippled packages).

I don't think it was ever the goal to limit it to two. It's just that
suseforums.net and suselinuxsupport.de are the best known and largest
English speaking openSUSE community forums.
As said, first time I hear about Novell hosting an openSUSE forum. Good
to know I guess ;)
"I don't understand why [...]" => I don't understand why no one ever
sent an email like yours on this list before.
That being done, I think we should add it to the list on the wiki.
Any objections ?
cheers

The newsgroups were listed for a long time on Communicate page. Although, not on the top portion of the screen.

Not right now, but when Communicate page get cluttered again, someone will object. IMHO, to prevent future confusion, like this, on main Communicate page should be listed only categories, like mail, newsgroups, forums etc. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

It's not so much a forum as it is a pretty face for Novell's nntp server.

I don't think there is a limit, and feel free to edit the page, I don't think it's protected (sorry if this was already said) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
