To goal is to make archives source of information, not garbage collectors.
What can make archives useful? - no offtopic discussions + no answers on OT topics - no excessive quoting IMHO, sparse few words, to mark paragraph, should be enough.
What can make list friendly? - posting style with interleaved answers - or bottom posting
What else?
Take care of the main problem: figure out how the ones that could use the guide lines most will actually read them at least once. :-/
You are on the list very long ;-) The recent welcome mail looks like this. ************************************************************ Welcome! You have been subscribed to the opensuse@opensuse.org mailinglist. Please read the openSUSE mailing list netiquette before you post. http://en.opensuse.org/Opensuse_mailing_list_netiquette This netiquette is recommendation how to write messages to openSUSE mailing lists that are easy to read, reduce amount of text and number of messages, help mutual understanding and avoid flames. Thank you for paying attention to these recommendations. ************************************************************
Another point that is equally impossible for a lot of the posters: to figure out when to use private mail and when to use a list reply. If the list in general could benefit from the discussion/post it should be a list reply, otherwise it should be a private mail only.
I updated http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette with this information. Now I need native English speaker to volunteer and check the text :-) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
