[SNIP] So, to make it short: Can you, the forum admins, please agree that introducing some subforums for specific topics makes it much easier to find "interesting" posts for the "contributor" / "dev" so those would be more inclined to get involved and can we please get some list together of "interesting" topics so those get realized?
Point simply being adding some subforum doesn't cost a single $ but makes it much easier to find - personally - "interesting" topics so one gets more inclined to get involved.
From my personal POV I would be delighted to see:
1. a "security" one for stuff like apparmor, selinux, ssl with certificates, general server hardening and so on 2. a "server" one for stuff like apache, php, samba, XEN, KVM, general virtualization and so on. [SNIP]
a workaround until the fora can be shuffled to make it easy to find personally interesting topics might be to try Google, it is a friend and costs are lower than shuffling the forums.. anyway, and unfortunately, we cannot count on the Redmond Ship Jumpers (RSJs) to know enough about what is going on to post into the correct forum once reshuffled.. so, interested in security? pick and click/copy-paste what you are personally interested in, general or specific: SECURITY in general: http://tinyurl.com/2wzd6qb or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+apparmor+OR+selinux+OR+"ssl+certificate"+OR+"general+server+hardening" apparmor only: http://tinyurl.com/33zw3zv or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... selinux only: http://tinyurl.com/39nxajc or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... ssl certificate only: http://tinyurl.com/3xtel8y or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... server hardening only: http://tinyurl.com/39mtm7g or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... or SERVER, general or specific: server (general): http://tinyurl.com/3yn69bn or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+server+AND+apache+OR+php+OR+samba+OR+xen+OR+kvm+OR+virturalization+OR+"virtual%2Bmachine"+OR+vm apache only: http://tinyurl.com/364zl2m or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... php only: http://tinyurl.com/23hy8gt or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR... samba only: http://tinyurl.com/24aba6y or http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.opensuse.org+help+OR+problem+OR...

NOTE 3: individuals here may elect to interact directly with Google to form other, more suitable, search strings without my help...however, if others here are waiting for an easy way to find what they are interested in in the fora, just let your needs be known and i'll try to help you also erase that "too hard to find" excuse.
