They are employees, not slaves. So if they follow the community that they make the software for is just a logical step. Wether or not they are allowed to do what that community wants is another matter.
But then again they might be more interested in following a specific GNOME list.
Well, nobody was talking about slaves.
It came to me across as if they were ONLY to listen to Novell and were not allowed to have any own input or other feedback. <snip>
So the real question is whether the management (the decision maker) knows about the notions of the community.
If everybody, including the developers, know what the public wants, then that can not be a bad ting, can it? The way you read it, it as if the developers are not welcome here and should just listen to what Novell tells them. That is how I read your posting and I hope I read it wrong. I stillthink that developers folowing here (and factory) is a good idea. And I mean following, not even participating. They are part of the openSUSE community, so if they give feedback here (or in factory) that is even better. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
