I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but where is the marketing side and the Novell/SuSE knowledge involved? OpenSuSE has important goals and at the moment the frontpage it THE portal to openSuSE. Current subject acknowledges there is demand to improve the frontpage (or even the site) to better match the goals.
Well, obviously openSUSE.org is _the_ portal for openSUSE.org. openSUSE is the comunity, so as a comunity it is up to US, members of the comunity to make that site. Making a comunity and a comunity site that goes with it is not something that will be done in a matter of days or perhaps even weeks. It will take some time, sorry. I asume that discussion will begin somewhere after FOSDEM. It will hopefully be a discussion and a process where the Novell marketing people have at most a guiding role. The site is NOT a marketingtool for Novell (at least not directly) it is a place for the openSUSE comunity. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
