Perhaps the best way to remove the negativity on this list is to have it moderated like the forums are.
Indeed. I'm sure 'moderation' is a good thing, but I am sceptical about 'moderators'. After all, they are human with human foibles.
What one might view as 'negative criticism' another might view as someone finding a valid problem that is taking to long to address, or, like the recent clarification about bugs being classified as needing fixes from the upstream maintainers rather than the openSUSE teams.
It is too common the see 'criticisms' as being 'negative'.
Generally speaking (there are bounds of reason/tone/decency/respect), I often do not have a problem with either critical nor negative speech, when the outcome of that speech is something positive for openSUSE. We're volunteers, we're passionate about what we do here, we can't be expected to always approach the project with happy happy joy joy feelings. But the focus should be on respecting all involved & accomplishing a positive goal on the end. But that generally means I feel any negative talk or critique on _this_ list is pointless. Because there are so few contributors listening here, there will be no actions resulting from such discussions. People using this list for either negative talk or critique about the distribution might as well go to the moon and try shouting back to the earth with a megaphone - it's about as effective. And that way would have less of a negative effect on the other readers of this list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
