This actually RFC, not a lesson. The gist of a problems in recent times, with so many changes that happen with systemd and more that are coming with Wayland, is that fright train, mentioned recently by Jos [1], often run over us, older users, and indirectly new comers [2]. New users depend on old users for help. Developers can help, but the language they are using in their daily communication to other developers has assumptions about other side ability to understand profession specific idiomatic expressions and acronyms. This language was developed during college (about 4 years) and in practice after that. In other words it is off limits for new to openSUSE without technical background. New stuff that is radically changing system configuration and debugging should have web page based docs that can help people understand changes at much faster rate then what is possible by reading regular documents, like manual pages. Being quiet what you do and why you do that, not preparing diagrams useful for faster learning, is counter productive. Flow and block diagrams can take some time to create, but they can help in transition phase by giving opportunity to technically inclined people to learn how new stuff should work, and more efficiently help new users. Problem is that such diagrams for new stuff can't be prepared by community. Those that understand how it works, have not that much time as openSUSE team at SUSE. Those that don't, need those diagrams :) [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-11/msg00800.html [2] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-11/msg00711.html "The totally new user is worse off, because the people they turned to for help are still learning." -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
