novel = new.
The implication is more "unique", though, in standard English usage. I know the dictionary/thesaurus uses "original, new" as a definition, but it's not "new" as in "I bought a new car", but "a new experience", which is roughly equivalent to "a unique experience".
I understand those subtle differences, and I maintain that "new" is a better word in this context.
Yes, upon further reflection, I agree that "new" probably is a better word choice.

Thanks to everyone (esp DenverD) who did edits on the wiki. Note that this page is NOT the announcement (which will be on news.opensuse.org) but just the base for translation. I have applied most changes to the original on news.o.o. I unfortunately have not been able to accept the changes, I guess the wiki is puking out again. If a wiki master/admin can get the wiki to let the review system work again, that'd be nice. And please all - do not spread the announcement yet: it's supposed to go out Wednesday, not now ;-) It should preferably be discussed on the marketing ml, not here. I know my colleague mistakenly send it here already, sorry for that... Enjoy your weekends, Jos
