Hello folks,
Following Henne's advice, I signed up today for a Novell account and prepared to correct the broken URLs on the Wiki page:
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors
There are some problems with the sign in procedure which I plan to report as soon as I find the right place to do that.
Worst of all, I'm unable to 'just do it' as Henne suggests, because every time I try to edit the page, I'm told:
'Please validate your email account to login and edit the wiki.'
Since I signed up one hour ago, I've successfully validated the email account twice. No idea... I'll keep waiting and trying, but my suspicion is that something is wrong.
The broken URLs in question are:
http://lists.opensuse.org/openSUSE-ambassadors/ http://lists.opensuse.org/openSUSE-marketing/
...which should be changed to:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-ambassadors/ http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-marketing/
Most likely there are many other such mistakes. Probably the Wiki would benefit from a broken link checking tool either running manually or as a cronjob.
One of the presenters at the conference talked about their disappointment of the Wiki, so it could be that there is a collaborative effort forming to improve it.
Regards, Michael
Michael,
If you meant the 'Archives' links. I just logged in and got the corrected for you rather than wait for the email verification issue to sort itself out. :)

Michael, Welcome and I look forward to seeing more of you in the Ambassador program as well as other marketing efforts by the openSUSE team. I'm especially glad to see Henne's "Just do it!" talk reaching people in such a positive manner. coincidentally, I'm working on our marketing pages as well today, my final day in Nuremberg, before I head home to Chicago tomorrow. I'm focusing more on content and organization. So I'm glad to see someone else is also thinking along these lines today and in short time, we should have some awesome reference pages for our marketing and ambassador team. Please, as you review material, feel free to edit content that would help as well as make suggestions to the list where else we can improve content. The more we can provide easy to reach access to all critical information to do our job, the better we'll be. And I promise you, we have a big year ahead of us! :-) Again, Michael... welcome!
