<rant> If the OpenSUSE community ain't about Users helping
The openSUSE community is that, among other things.
Users help users than what is it?
This list is not about technical help: http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists
Damn that is the 12th Suse list I'm going to subscribe to....
And ...
I'm already wading through some 300 suse msgs per day...
Do I really want this?
The idea of seperate lists is that you do not have to wade through all emails, but that you can select on subject what to read and what not.

Hmmm, sorry about that I didn't know about that maillist...
No problem. Somehow you found out about this one and most likely the same place also explained others or at least should, like http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists
I realize (from discusions here) what is meant by OpenSUSE Community, but also realize why everybody and his mother jumps into this maillist with with wrong initial impression, and therefore "abusing"> the list.
There are two things. The community, that is all SUSE users and the openSUSE project: http://en.opensuse.org/Project_overview
Do everybody a favor, and rename the list to something that an outsider will understand what it's for....
OpenSuSE_Direction, futture_plans, Goals, work-in-progress, or what ever.
If a person does not have the "OpenSuSE" maillist then he's is forced to choose an appropriate sub mailist....
1) it is openSUSE, not OpenSuSE. It also is SUSE not SuSE for some time already 2) opensuse-project would then be the best name.
Jerry P.S. Sorry for the Rant, but just could keep my fingers of the keyboard...
No problem. This is about the project/community and thus on-topic. ;-) -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
