I asked the Alionet admin and here is his answer: (english translation below)
jdd, thanks for contacting them.
"Collaborer certe, mais à quel niveau ! (french can't spell ;P)
...
sort of translation: Your translation is accurate.
"Collaborate, yes, but at what level! Our forum is open for now two years and the scarce contacts I had with Novell comercials was to ask us to shut down the forum and do the same thing elsewhere.
I wonder what he is referring to. I really don't see what "Novell commercials" have to do with the (open)SUSE community. This is about us, not about Novell.
also we asked at the opening of opensuse.org to have a french part and they open only a month ago
So, basically: - - those guys are nowhere on the opensuse mailing-list - - they asked to have a wiki part localized in french but they didn't follow up by any means because it has been announced several times and progress has been reported by the SUSE staff about the internationalized wikis (on mailing-lists, on IRC meetings, on the wiki)
practically, I'm not opposed to the opening of this forum, but I don't want to be a non informed member"
Actually he said he doesn't want to be a "simple member without information".
Of course, existing forum moderators should have a high priority for getting that job.
At least, it seems obvious in my opinion, both because they have experience with it, and also
because they have been filling that gap in the community before openSUSE. Anything else would be
plain stupid IMO ;)
Nevertheless, I find it quite disappointing to see that near none of those webforum
admins/moderators (including other forums) are on this mailing-list.
It's not about whining and waiting to get invited to the party, subscribe to the list and speak up.
jdd: can those folks be contacted somehere interactively ? IRC, Jabber, ... ?
Could you please suggest to them to subscribe to this mailing-list ?
cheers
