That shows your respect to other people's work. Sometimes it seems the community doesnt consider novell/suse employees as part of the community.
That's unfair. I will refrain from reversing the argument to novell/suse doesn't value community technical input, by not asking the community here. My line "Community waits for no man" is a variation of "Time waits for no man", it is not a judgement that whatever work is done towards the same end is not worth anything. I understand that it is unreasonable to expect all SUSE staff to respond to this mailing list (especially over the weekend), it was to merely say that the discussion will go on.
He will probably come to the same conclusion I have.
no he wont. we want to go a different approach.
I didn't recall that we discussed this earlier...oh you mean 'we' as in SUSE.
There are extensions to get RSS into wiki, but if you want to find out how to publish news via RSS from your Wikimedia wiki, you go to wikinews.org, as news is all they do.
They run an external perl script that converts the wikipage to RSS.
They are hosted here: http://jeays.net/rss.htm and also put on feedburner.com
sounds ugly
Doesn't it! Can you believe that it is not a standard part of wikimedia. <snip=a bunch of points we mostly agree on />
reinvent wheels?
darix - a member of this community.
Darix, from your tone it is clear that I have either offended you or upset you, if so I appologise sincerely, my intention was to try to get something actually happening on this mailing list, not just a talk fest, actually set a small defined target and achieving it through collaboration. Ask people whether a web forum is good or bad, and you will never get an answer, give a problem that needs to be solved and a collaborative approach is great. Let me just clearly state, that I have great respect for all of the SUSE staff, and I appreciate that the job of trying to run (no create) an opensource project is one that would sometimes seem thankless, and unappreciative, with the community forever accusing you of being closed, not listening, too slow to provide facilities, etc etc. There is a natural us and them mindset, which SUSE staff are equally guilty of showing, but I don't think this extends to a value judgement from either side. Well I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be here and I do value everybody's input, which of course includes yours and your collegues. I look forward to any developments reported against Bug #105496, and maybe Martin can share some of his thoughts here. With apologies, Peter "Pflodo" Flodin ps. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105496
