There is a lot that has to be discussed, about openSUSE wiki look, feel, mission statement, feedback to and from administrative personnel etc.
do :-)
For now I feel pretty lost, as I want to do something, don't want to interfere with other people efforts, missing place to communicate ideas, don't see that wiki totally closed behind registration and login will help much.
registration is not closed, so the wiki is not. I agree that the login can make problem for some peoples, but * the wiki is Novells, so what ever you say his content is under Novells responsability. * the wiki is _not_ in my opinion of the same wide open nature of wikipedia. openSUSE is mostly prone to the development of the SUSE Linux distribution. It's mainly a community of developpers, beta testers, writers... people who wants to be active for SUSE Linux. Asking them to register (and with no register filtering) is a _yet very small_ mean to verify they level of involvement. Do we need people not even able to register? what are they to do is anybody asks them to get a bug to bugzilla? well my thinking is not closed on this point, these are just a mere present opinion that may change :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=G%C3%A9rer_ses_photos
