you should experiment suse-linux-e. it's not always a good experience. most people ask before having ever read the wiki, not to say they read the archives :-). OT are so frequent...
The last time I looked there I saw so many topposting and HTML postings that I ran away. As long as the people agree that this is allowed (either by really allowing it, or by not doing anything about it) I won't go there.
and the bugfix of stable release is still not clear for me. I undertood that security fixes will be done very fast, but what kind of bug will be fixed and what will not?
Security fixes are done. Others are not done. There will be some exeptions, but it is a pretty good rule of thumb. This has been explained a few times already. Also the idea why has been explained.
the inst-source folder is frozen fromm the beginning, YOU update is for security... what about bugfixes?
Unless they are security fixes, they won;t be done. e.g. the slower transfer rate for USB in 10.0 has a solution, yet as it is not a security issue, it won't be implemented.
bugzilla is a good tool, but I can't send there anybody because I was years before being able to use it myself
Sure you can. An example: USB Speed: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105871 comments 19, 41 and 50-53 People have been pointed there and have solved their issue. Indeed some are not able to use Bugzilla (or don't want to) they will have to ask solutions in suse-linux-e. They are asking for solutions. To me they are not reporting bugs and that was what you were talking about.
Could it be usefull to have a namespace/main page on the wiki for following the bugs?
I mean that most wontfix bugs are minor or have a workaround. may be these should stay in the wiki in a visible place for new users.
Aside from Most Anoying Bugs? No. There are just too many. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
