[opensuse-project] Look and Feel of the openSUSE Installer
Hello openSUSE lovers! openSUSE has been rapidly evolving, but the installer has stayed the same for many versions! The installer is the first thing potential openSUSE users see, and an immediate 'pleasant surprise effect is very important, particularly considering the competition from other installers available. Previous SUSE users also erroneously presume sometimes that the distro is the same since the installer hasn't changed, unfortunately. I've created a page on the wiki to collect ideas on how to improve the openSUSE installer. If you have any ideas (or concerns), please head over to http://en.opensuse.org/Pimp_My_Installer and update it as you see fit. Thanks, Magnus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

You may want to discuss this on opensuse-usability list, the people taking care for the YaST design are there ... -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
