I think the forum is big enough and guys like me would have a better opportunity to contribute on a suse-linux-e with 75% of the KDE questions moved.

Of course thats just a guess. Might as well be 50 percent.

I think it's a sound idea. Since most SuSE major verison changes relolve around major KDE releases, this makes total sense. The issue will be getting people to use it, since a lot of users like posting to generic mailing lists even if there's a list that is more specific to thier problem. (for instance, I still see a bit of multimedia questions on the main list). Thanks Donavan Pantke

Please...kde is just a gui, while there are true application questions that could be answered on this list.

Exactly. So we want to move KDE to a different list. Or what do you mean? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

Yes, and some of us use Gnome instead of KDE.

GNOME questions are so few few compared to KDE that they should go to suse-linux-e. No problem. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

I was waiting for that one to come up, maybe it should be suse-xwm@suse.com

to cover all window managers, KDE, Gnome, XDM, icewm, WidowMaker, afterstep, blackbox, enlightenment. Pretty much everything listed in the (xwm) series including KDE and Gnome.

That would be a wonderful addition IMHO! I think this is right in line with the support and emphasis that SuSE has placed on the default WM in their product line. I think this will also be a useful resource for pros and newbs alike. Hope to see this soon!

How would people feel if we created a list here at lists.suse.com for KDE-related questions primarily?

I can't agree more!!!

Hi, one and all:

As usual, the candidate I vote for doesn't get elected; the last one was Gore, the next is "suse-linux-e". I know very well my vote is useless, but that shouldn't prevent me from casting "no" to "suse-kde". (big snip) I may be wrong--and until proven so, I'm right...--but separating the two because "there's too much traffic" will only **increase** it, as many people will be posting the same question on two lists; more work for everybody. Thanks for listening. gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida Gulf coast.

Gilson, The solution is simple for you as it was when you voted for the wrong man. ;o) Just add a filter to your KMail to send both the suse-linux-e & suse-kde mail into one folder! That way you really don't see a seperation of mails and when you reply to either, they go to the correct list for those of us that like the two different ones. There ya go, problem solved and no hanging chads to deal with either! :o) Patrick -- ---KMail 1.3.2--- SuSE Linux v7.3 Pro--- Registered Linux User #225206 Magic Page Products -- Amiga-SuSE-PC Sales & Service URL: http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

People who are habitual crossposters have been dealt with harshly in the past and will be in the future as well. It's up to people on the list to label something as off-topic; I mean, it's silly to post a question specifc to a Sparc here since all of the Sparc people hang out suse-sparc, not here. In any case, the trailer on suse-kde now reads: To unsubscribe, email: suse-kde-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, email: suse-kde-help@suse.com Please do not cross-post to suse-linux-e Yes, I realize that people ignore those but when they unsubscribed for crossposting they won't be able to complain too much. Also, suse-linux and suse-linux-e are primarily for the i386 platform since we have dedicated lists for the others (axp, sparc, ppc, ia64) but all of those platforms might have KDE problems. It seems a little excessive to force a ppc user to subscribe to a monsterous list like SLE just because they have a KDE question. Thanks for the input, -- -ckm
