Also, this mailing-list has become almost unusable and unproductive, overwhelmed with trolling (lately) and with people reporting issues that definately belong to suse-linux-e and not here.
Proposal: - either create a new list "opensuse-community" - or clean this list from issues that belong to suse-linux-e
Furthermore, having users, questions and solutions to issues spread over 2 lists is very counter-productive: less people to help, less people to see the solutions. I know suse-linux-e is very high traffic, but nevertheless. Personally, it turns me off to see this list spoiled with "my usb stick is slow", "my modem doesn't work", etc... - while such mails are perfectly fine and deserve attention and help, they don't belong on this list. At least that's my very humble and personal opinion about it. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, please create a new list that's dedicated to discussing things like the openSUSE community itself.
I have to agree strongly with your comments. I think that people with general problems should be directed to the suse-linux-e mailing list. As you said it is counter-productive to have two lists competing with each other in providing support. -- Regards, Graham Smith
