Will this change in the future?
I imagine the following is true: 1. We get 10.0 out. This is priority number 1 for the openSUSE core team, and the community involvement in terms of what goes into 10.0 is actually very limited. The nice wishlists etc on openSUSE.org will not be looked at until after 10.0. 2. Similarly the Wiki and openSUSE.org in general is not a high priority compared to the release of 10.0. After a stable 10.0 is released, I would assume that user numbers here would grow enormously, and the openSUSE team would look at really getting the community settled in, they will revisit the web forum proposal, to handle large volumes of people, and as stated on the Roadmap import articles to the Wiki from the Novell SUSE support databases. I would assume that as part of this (phase 2) community building process, that individuals that have shown themselves to uphold a high standard and committment to openSUSE.org will be allowed to become a Wiki Admin, to help with everyday wiki admin stuff. (for example only admins can delete pages).
What is the policy behind this? That is the wrong question. This is YOUR community, the real question is "How do I help create the policy for this?"
I don't think the Novell staff at openSUSE, has an answer or policy for everything we ask them, this is all new for them too. I created the openSUSE Wiki Project, to try to organise some these things, why don't you visit - you could even start the "openSUSE Admin Nomination Policy". http://www.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Wiki_Project Peter "Pflodo" Flodin
