This topic would probably be better off on e.g. opensuse-project, but as the thread started here:
opensuse-support was born on 28 May 2018, hence it celebrated its 2nd birthday only just last week.
<mailing list admin's cap on> opensuse@o.o has six times more subscribers than opensuse-support@o.o. opensuse@o.o has six times more traffic than opensuse-support@o.o. </cap off>
there is a "opensuse-support" mailing list?
I'm serious: this is the first time I hear about that list - and I've been with the openSUSE "world" since ... i dunno, before S.u.S.E. in Nürnberg even MADE their own specific linux flavor.
As I wrote above, "opensuse-support" has only just turned two years old, and maybe you missed out on the announcements back in May 2018.
I think the elephant in the room is that there is also a forum and I suspect that most of the traffic that used to go to this list now goes to the forum instead. What are the traffic stats for that? That's fine but I'm an old fogey that happens to prefer a mail list. I do get the impression that one of the things the opensuse community is not very good at is organizing communication to the great unwashed. Mailing lists just for announcements are a great example - why would anybody subscribe to one of those, especially when 90% of announcements are irrelevant. There are a lot of web pages of one kind or another, where it's not clear whether they are 'official' in any sense, nor whether they are up-to-date. Often the biggest clue is when the page starts talking about version 11.2 or somesuch. I frequently find myself in arch doc pages, because they seem to be so much better than opensuse. How do they do that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
