Thank you, Christoph, for your complete answers and your patience in providing them.
Hi Patrick, no problem, you–and all the others–are welcome.
You say, "I'm sure you know all this already." That's a bad working assumption. It's good in that it means you respect my intelligence, but it leaves me without the complete set of information you have provided here.
Sorry, my bad. Even though I wrote "all this", I meant to refer only to the wiki maintenance guidelines because I assumed people on this list know them. I was not referring to all the other stuff I wrote and which is probably new to everybody but me. That's why explain it in great detail. If somebody has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I first became interested in openSUSE when I saw a presentation about openQA at SCaLE 13x in 2015. I'm still, two years later, trying to understand the project work flow. I would really like to shorten that two years for those that come behind me.
That's a very noble goal, that I can wholeheartedly support. As someone who has been around in the Fedora community for over a decade, I still find many things about openSUSE confusing. Getting new contributors onboarded quickly is definitely something we should focus on when we improve the wiki. Something like a "New Contributors Guide" would be pretty cool to have. Anybody (with more experience than me) wants to work on that? I would offer being the guinea pig and ask all the questions newbies have. ;-) Best regards, Christoph -- Christoph Wickert <cwickert@suse.de> Technical Writer SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0; Fax: +49-911-7417755; https://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg)
