Obviously the way openSUSE lists are handled is from the last century.
Yes. A lot of technologies are. There's a 'if it works and three's nothing better that's economical' then why change.
Outright intimidating not only for newcomers to our community.
Since when is the simplicity of plain text 'intimidating'? It's not slow loading. It doesn't have lots of eye candy. It doesn't vary from browser to browsers. It doesn't consume prodigious bandwidth on mobile devices.
This hyperkitty looks quite cool, who can make it happen? :-)
Ah "Cool". Yes the ultimate criteria for selection of a product.
Gee, what an indictment!
Having to subscribe to a mailing list and use an email client to interact with a group is pretty offputting for quite a few people. It's very intimidating to try and enter this sort of discussion as it feels much different than what people, for the most part, are used to.
Maybe so, but the group of people this email lists is aiming to target, being the core group of openSUSE developers this is something that I hope that they can manage. Obviously this is not as ideal for user support which is why we have forums etc for that. Sure maybe we can make our mailing list system better, but for this list I still think that mailing lists are the best platform.
