So you won't see SuSE/Novell offering such external links. However, we will support a standard way of repository linking in the future.
Here I am telling everybody it is SUSE not SuSE and then I see people from SUSE writing SuSE instead of SUSE. :-(
In the end, we do not care anymore. Everyone knows what is meant.
Pitty that you don't care. I personaly believe that looking as one and that means writing the name of what you represent, is importand. To me this falls under communications. (Others might call it Marketing or Corporate Identity, wich to me *is* communication.) It seems to be a running issue that communication is not that good with SUSE/openSUSE. Technically you are the best. Communication is lacking enormously. Using SuSE instead of SUSE is just a very small part of it. Unfortunatly this communications problem is with us since the beginning of openSUSE.org. I have no idea who should be handeling communications to the outside (openSUSE) world, but I think that function should be re-evaluated, if it exists at all. It looks as if almost all communication is done afterwards by a technical person as a best effort. Hreat of that person doing it. It would just be better if many (not all) commications where done earlier or were done at all. Too many things have happend where afterwards it was said: Oh, and we did such and such. Or information was confusing or only given after asking for it. Understand that I am not dissing the person who might be doing it right now. I am saying that the function should be re-evealuated and changed. This *could* mean: More time for communication. More feedback from technical people. More backup from management. More pro-active information. Or change to whatever is lacking at the moment so that communications becomes something important and functional. Due to the fact that most information will be coming from within SUSE and Novell, it must be an emplyee. An other person will not be able to get some information and also will not be able to demand information. houghi -- This openSUSE mailinglist is about the community.
