When I read your answer, I understand the former is more important. That's what I disagree with.
And don't get me wrong: of course both are important, and ideally we'd do both; and yes, I'm oversimplifying and the world is not black and white. But I'm reading that we failed to take action on this for an extended amount of time, and the solution is not to wait for people to take action.
I'll give you a black and white answer. It doesn't matter which you, or I, think is more important. The only thing that matters is what are the contributors to the openSUSE Project motivated to actually do. We can't create a solution out of thin are, and we shouldn't be in the business of making problems worse for the Project. People should be motivated and empowered to take care of the things that bother them. This is an echo of the view you yourself expressed when the topic of connect.opensuse.org first came up in your last face to face meeting as Chairman. The technical and practical realities have not changed in any material way since then. There's a problem, it needs addressing, but if no one in the community is willing to address it, then it almost certainly will end up lingering around until some people are motivated to address it. Maybe now this is finally the time, if so, great! But, in the burst of enthusiasm that this problem seems to be endearing, I think the most important than is we don't lose sight of the contributors impacted. In my view, the door is wide-wide open for a solution, but my view doesn't really matter. The only opinions that really do are the views of the people who will implement a new solution, the Membership Officials who'll have to use the solution, and the Heroes who'll have to decommission connect.o.o and handle any replacement. I'm not convinced the first group have taken the important steps of engaging closely with the latter 2 groups. Lets make sure we put the people first, that's all I'm advocating for here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
