I had hoped that one or two of them were lurking on this list and would speak up now. Before I "officially" address the other forums I would like to know what we, you, the opensuse community would want to offer them. Besides, anybody can go to to the forums and invite them to join this discussion, you don't need a @suse.de address for that ;-)
I would say it is the job of one official at suse to write to the forum guys. If everyone of use would invite them there would be a lot of trouble, people getting invited twice, others not getting invited,...
Mailing lists with NNTP gateway are fine, and a forum with email notification (and maybe even a mail interface, though I haven't seen this working so far) is fine too. The difference between web forums, lists and newsgroups is not the frontend. We need the opensuse lists for coordinating the actual work, and I don't want them rendered unusuable by a forum gateway. Yes, that arrogant too, but I'm not talking about user support lists here ;-)
ACK. BTW, will the suse-linux lists stay, or will they get integrated / the normal opensuse-lists get integrated? Will opensuse stay opensuse or will it get changed to clear the separation between "normal user questions" and opensuse-Stuff?
