What is your reasoning for wanting to split the community? I'm genuinely interested in understanding this.
Perhaps it is not so much wanting to split as creating the risk that people will feel offended by just starting a webforum and ignoring the existing ones. Somebdy is already on the large German forum. Who is going to start the discussion on the English one? I think it would be perfectly possible to have the two things next to eachother. Outside the suse-e mailinglists, there are others dedicated to SUSE (I know of at least one, but there are bound to be more). Outside the novell usenet groups, there at least two other active usenet groups unrlated to novell or SUSE. What about the susewiki's out there. Somebody rightfully said we never asked any questions about that. So an official and an inofficial webforum should not be a problem, AS LONG as we ask them to help us and ask feedback. I am sure that we, people at openSUSE and people at the unofficial forums, want the same thing: support others with SUSE and discuss SUSE. houghi -- Why don't elephants eat penguins ?
