As I've mentioned on another thread, the board would love to kill this list completely, as well as all the others. The Board!!! Not the developers, not the users, but the board.
Come on, Anton. This is a Flame and is a Derogatory Personal Attack, completely against openSUSE's Policy and Guiding Principles. ... and, a perfect example of why people are tired of the mess on the openSUSE Mailing Lists.
Well you could probably extrapolate that to at least some openSUSE Members as well, as they vote for the board and I personally and I believe others mentioned cleaning up some mailing lists as something we would like to see. So people appointed me to the board knowing I wanted to make changes to mailing lists.
Exactly true. In fact, I have been lurking and following this problem since long before the election, and I kept track. The majority of Users and the Community have been asking for something to be done for a long, long time, now. I, too, ran on this promise. If I would have made it to the Board, this would still be going ahead as it is now. Most people I heard from asked for this. ... including several here, who are now complaining that the Board is trying to do what they asked for. Those who are complaining had the opportunity to run for the Board, just as I did, and could have voted in people who represent what they wanted to see. That they did not basically mitigates their right to complain afterwards, IMHO.
The introduction of opensuse-support@ is meant to make it clear where all support issues can be emailed.
Yes, much clearer and less prone to argument about what belongs on that list.
openSUSE has excellent forums to the point where the board considered just moving all support questions to there rather then mailing lists, but as we know some people prefer mailing lists we decided against that.
Indeed.
