RE: [opensuse] Official openSUSE webforum?
I total agree with this idea, create mailing list for specific topics such as: Security Kernel enhancements Yast And a web forum for the whole distribution. This method is very similar how others Linux distro are done i.e. Fedora.

This is my first email to the mailing list so it might be considered rude to propose a webforum. But nevertheless I think openSUSE,org should have its own webforum for these reasons: 1. New users are less likely to join and post in a mailing list. 2. Web forums are much more effeicient at providing messages to the user that they are interested in. 3. The various existing webforums at other sites, are not central enough to the project to build a community. 4. There are various things in the wiki, (like wishlists) that would be better handled in a webforum, with discussions around each wish item. At the moment there is no clue to if there is 1 or 1000 people who want a particular feature. (Unless each one is searched for in the mailing list archive perhaps). Don't get me wrong, mailing lists on specific topics are very useful, (development related lists especially). I just don't think it is the best vehicle for discussing issues of a whole linux distribution. What I am describing is a webforum at opensuse.org, so it can only be created by Novell at this point.
