This compares to the following other communities, each of which have a broader "general discussions about openSUSE" topic by design, other than the intended "support" focus of this list - 4814 subscribers to the openSUSE reddit community - 14.8 _thousand_ members of the openSUSE group on facebook - 29.5 _thousand_ followers of the openSUSE group on Google+ - 38 _thousand_ members of the openSUSE forums - 56.2 _thousand_ subscribers of the openSUSE feed on twitter
In the grand scheme of things, this mailinglist, at best, represents a small fraction of the community.
Which surely begs the question - why is the odd bit of complaining, criticism, negativity or long-winded offtopic discussions much of a problem when the list is such an insignificantly small fraction.
I mean, given your numbers, this list represents 0.95% of the openSUSE community, so why are we even having this discussion??
Good point :-) Reminds me. Someone said about getting phone calls complaining about the mail list. Well, I get private posts saying the contrary. How good the mail list is, and how bad are other places, and how wrong are those complains... - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
