additional package repositories -- opensuse 10.1
At http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories there are a few URLs for extra packages not included in the OSS distribution. These seem to be a bit misleading, and maybe a bit inaccurate (for example, a couple of the URLs still point to 10.0 repositories). There is no reference to http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/ which seems to me to include all the other stuff, including Java and java applications, other non-OSS packages such as realplayer, etc. In short, for 10.1, all the non-OSS packages seem to be collected in one place, removing the need for multiple extra installation sources in Yast (except, of course, for such essential places like Packman :) )

Then go ahead and add it - it's a wiki ;-)

Then go ahead and add it - it's a wiki ;-) You might want to take a look at it, and see if you want the stuff for 10.0 left in there -- I left it there for anyone who might still want/need it. It might have made sense to reorganize the sections, but I left them basically as they were, because I'm lazy :-)
