I am a little confused with one regard of the openSUSE project and the goal of making SUSE Linux the most widely used Linux. And something that I believe will need to be changed in the near future to achieve that goal. It has become quite clear that the openSUSE project is not really a user project, and in its current form is a developer only project. Just look at the example of normal users asking for help on this supposedly general openSUSE mailing list and told to go to a non-opensuse place because this is a development list. This now also confuses the aim of the openSUSE wiki (my main contributional input to this project so far), who is it aimed at? The end-user or the openSUSE developer/contributor? If I want to write SUSE end-user wiki should I go to: http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/Cool_Solutions_Wiki_Main_Page ? or perhaps submit articles to http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/ (and even earn points). I would like openSUSE be a distro with a user community to rival anybody and here is what I believe openSUSE should do: 1. Rename SUSE Linux OSS to openSUSE Linux - you can't build a user community if you have nothing to build it around. 2. OpenSUSE.org has to be a full self contained entity with a "everyone is Welcome here" attitutude. This therefore requires web forums for support. Mailing lists and news readers are not good enough for newbies. There is no choice. If you don't like web forums, get over it or don't go there, the mailing lists should be untouched. Otherwise can someone explain how the openSUSE project actually intends to reach one of its stated goals, it just won't happen by accident... Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.
