Personally, I have quite a lot of very palpable ideas on how to implement those processes, and I hope we'll be able to discuss them all, together (at least for people who have some background on packaging and maintaining such repositories), once the SUSE staff has some time to spend on it. I was thinking of a must simpler thing (not to say yours is not good, but it's a Rolls :-)
It's not, it's the wheels we need to integrate 3rd party packagers. And that's crucial to improve SUSE Linux' user community. Believe me, it's really not a "rolls". We must find a way to provide those features. Maybe you don't see yet how it will affect/improve the end-user experience with SUSE Linux, but it's one of the major issues.
trhat is a wiki page where users can say what they discover (there is a small starting point yet on open suse) like "What do you found new in..." you know the developper is not always the best source to know what a programm is best for. One can often find uses devs never think of :-))
We're talking about different things then. BTW, I provide over 500 packages in my repository, with around 100 being active with regular updates. How do you want to handle that information if it's not automated and provided by the packagers ? ;) End-users must definately be involved into that process, based on the data that's provided by the packagers: - - sending bug reports - - a simple (web-based (?)) voting system to say whether the package worked for them or not - - adding comments, user experiences about packages Personally, I envision opensuse.org as being a big aggregator for all of this.
