OK. so you do not think that the community as such needs anything else?
There is a technology project and the valid topics should be that technology and its development. But when people ask questions about the end product, they're sent elsewhere. To me, this seems perverse.
There are a LOT of other issues that deal with the community that are not directly related to the product. Why is it so difficult to have just one place (suse-linux-e) that deals with technical issues? What is the need to have this list answer technical issues as well?
Perhaps you just want an exclusive club. That's fine. Just restrict membership and only let in people who are willing to restrict themselves chatting about "the community."
I do not want an exclusive club. I want a place where I can discuss community issues without them being drowned in technical issues. openSUSE is much more then just support for SUSE. If I have a desire to talk technical, I go to suse-linux-e or other places where it is apropriate. So where should these discussions about the openSUSE itself that are NOT directly related to SUSE Linux take place then? Perhaps you think here as well. Can I ask you, are you in general against different mailinglists, or do you think that everything should be in just one mailinglist? If you think it should be in one, then it will become so large nobody will be able to do anything with it. Most likely you agree that there should be some difference in mailinglists. As you do not agree with the current lists, how do you propose to solve it? houghi -- This openSUSE mailinglist is about the community. All discussion about the community is welcome. If you have a techical question just subscribe via this email address: suse-linux-e-subscribe@suse.com, post your original email again there, and you will get a straight answer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
