This is the impression I had of this list:
You need to look at this one instead, for mail list info:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels#Mailing_lists
opensuse-factory@opensuse.org - This is the list for technical discussions related to the development of the openSUSE Distributions..
It does not limit the mail list to a single distribution ;-)
I see a lot of Leap discussion here, which as I run Tumbleweed, doesnt apply to me. Perhaps I should just look for another medium then.
No, this is the correct mail list for Tumbleweed. There are other avenues, like the forum, but the mail list is where you will find most recent info and access to the developers.
Well no its not the correct mailing list for all tumbleweed discussion, its the correct list for openSUSE Development discussion, as almost all new development features go into tumbleweed first we end up discussing tumbleweed changes a lot here.
The Leap discussions are temporary, because Leap is Beta phase. In about a month they will be silent till next release.
However, for questions about user things, you can and should just use the plain opensuse@opensuse.org mail list, but saying that you are using TW. Questions like "I have a problem with LibreOffice".
Correct issues with how to use openSUSE and software it ships should go there, but if you have a issue / bug specific to a single piece of software it really should go in bugzilla. If its a bug that broke something in the last tumbleweed snapshot and its likely to have a big impact on a number of people its useful to post here. You posted your question to the correct list, it got answered by the correct person and there was some other noise you ignored, unfortunately that happens a bit. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
