Overview - I would mention all of the sponsors, not just SUSE
Pointer to list, please?
https://en.opensuse.org/Sponsors
Company history/Product History titles - I'd remove them, but keep the Further Information callback. We're not a company, we're not a product, we're a Project, and the history text does a good job of covering our whole general history.
Can you be more specific about what might go into the SUSE article? I am reluctant to just remove much of anything. I suspect it might well be reverted.
I wouldn't remove anything from the SUSE article. I'd remove the Company history/Product History titles. That's all
Distribution - Almost a total rewrite. Retail edition, FTP, Factory are not distributions. It should mention just Leap, Tumbleweed, and maybe Kubic
Sorry, but that is way *way* too vague. :-(
I'm sorry I don't have the time to write everything for you. There are dozens of places that have summaries of Tumbleweed, Leap, and Kubic, such as the openSUSE wiki. Remove everything from the distribution section of the article and replace it with accurate descriptions of the 3 distributions we ship, Leap, Tumbleweed, and Kubic with those summaries.
Features - tons of stuff to be updated/rewritten there. A lot of it is out of date.
Again, not specific enough.
WebYaST does not exist.
Er, OK. Since when?
I'd say since 2013, when active development pretty much halted. You could say 2014 when it was removed from all openSUSE distributions because it didn't build successfully for over 100 days
There is no mention of built in snapshot/rollback, and yet that is by far our best breakout feature.
In Wikipedia-ese, I would say [[citation needed]] :-D
I personally would dispute that. I know you are a fan but, well, let's put it this way. I have reformatted all 3 or 4 of my openSUSE installs with ext4 to get rid of the pain of btrfs, snapshots, snapper and all that.
IMHO the #1 breakout feature of SUSE & openSUSE is YaST. There is nothing else like it on any other Linux any more.
Well, you can mention YaST also, but if your humble opinion is valid for a wikipedia article, then so is the opinion of the Project's chairman and Leap's release manager, and we say that the #1 breakout feature is snapshots/rollback ;) Lets avoid saying which is #1, they're both really cool, the article should provide a fair reflection of both :)
and also I'd like it to mention how SUSE contribute directly to Factory as part of it's formal "Factory First" policy (citation: https://opensource.suse.com/suse-open-source-policy )
Can do but that might get reverted as being advert-like.
Try and say is a matter of fact, rather than a matter of pride?
That would be the stuff I'd change to start with at least. Thanks both volunteering.
It belatedly occurs that I might face sanctions due to perceived conflict of interest, too. :-(
Indeed, but if I state here for the record that it can be argued that your constant belly-aching means you have probably contributed negatively to openSUSE more than you have positively, then maybe the wikimedia gods will look welcomingly on your efforts here today ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
