Every time someone links to rtfm.opensuse.org, not only are they enforcing a negative stereotype ("Let's not help users, let's tell them to RTFM! I'm an angry elite Linux guy!"), they are making it harder and harder to recover from this
This is a problem of behaviour of the person who was asked and is in no way connected to a domain name. I don't think that you can solve social deficiencies with technical changes.
No one wants to be told to RTFM and a link like rtfm.opensuse.org is exactly the kind of passive aggressiveness we need to actively *avoid*.
What is the difference between a) telling someone to please consult the official documentation first and sending him a link to rtfm.opensuse.org and b) telling someone to please consult the official documentation first and sending him a link to wiki.opensuse.org? It is important how we reply to and react on questions that our users have. The way we phrase our answers is the thing we need to take care of. Rude answers and behaviour can scare off big parts of a community and this is completely independent of how friendly the domain name was. So, a domain name is just a domain name that someone clicks on. A domain name does not tell a user that he is dumb. Its the writer of the answer that says it or tells it between the lines - but again, this can not be fixed with a technical change. I see absolutely no need to get rid of that subdomain. (In reply to comment #6)
docs.opensuse.org should definitely be an alias to doc.o.o - Jürgen or Jens Daniel, could you take care of that?
Yes, we should add the 'docs' alias as well - thats a good idea. I will take care of this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
