the most evident word (internationally accepted) is "help". So there should be an "opensuse-help" list.
.From my point of view, this is not such a good idea. For many mailing lists the address <name>-help@ is used to automatically send a short help with instructions on how to use the mailing list software and/or a short FAQ to a user. For instance, suse-linux-help@suse.com is such an address. Thus, IMO there should be no actual list with that name, that's again misleading (at least for people having some experiences with mailing lists). Two additional comments on some related subjects: a) I can understand Randall's arguments and I think he's technically correct. I won't comment on the tone of the whole discussion. b) I don't think that renaming etc. or removing this list will solve all problems. There should be a list where users can ask all general questions about openSUSE, whether these questions are about the project or whatever. Most people with general questions do not subscribe to all the different mailing lists. This is a fact. In Principle, I can't see a problem with some technical questions here; the useless discussions, flames, and all the unnecessary blabla are much more annoying than technical questions.
