There have been some complaints that the Release DVD is not available at the same time as the Release being submitted to the public. I do not back those complaints.
I fully understand that there are some days, up to a week or bit more, between stable release and DVD. The DVD iso, derived from the CDs or the build dir, has to be built and tested before being given out. For impatient people, susedvd does all the job. Once successful they may share their work via ptp.
Anyway, Opensuse Website is a legitimate subject for complaint. Notoriously, SuSE development is reported more timely and comprehensively at Slashdot, Heise, theregister etc. than on www.opensuse.org. Content Management through Mediawiki is an idea which works when many people are busy and eager to update. On opensuse.org, this does not seem to be the case. Ok, the other danger, that saboteurs or harassers spoil the content, does not apply either. Fortunately.
Anyway, Opensuse Website misses all and any expectation I would hold against the web presence of the possibly second most distributed Linux distribution. I would expect to be informed timely and truthfully about the next events, distributions, downloads, download formats, everything.
Somebody stated that a number of German elementary schools maintain better and more timely updated web servers than oensuse does. This should be a challenge to be met in the future.
