It is a good idea, my only question was whether or not people would know what the list is for given the name. Maybe not, but maybe....
opensuse-project is ok... opensuse-ux should probably be opensuse-useability and opensuse-offtopic should probably be opensuse-nontechnical opensuse should be opensuse-technical ... and the reason is that opensuse sounds like: opensuse-general ?? I realize that there are some who just want the technical and are not so much concerned for the community... and by that I mean the interaction of the community members to each other... on various levels. For the community to bond, grow, become a cohesive entity the community members need to get to know each other, and for other than technical merits of opensuse. This is particularly important from a worldview standpoint. I have always believed in world peace through world trade... and old IBM principle... and I believe even stronger today in world peace through world development and ownership... openSUSE style, Ubuntu style, etc. World-wide discussion lists which provide cohesive venues for wholesome dialogue among nations and people groups is just plain awesome. Even when things get a little tense sometimes, free communication fosters understanding and brotherhood. The point is, to be able to interact with the openSUSE community world-wide (not just the USA, or the EU, etc) is the major benefit of the list servers... I am in favor of placing social, patent, copyleft, FOSS specific to openSUSE, on the opensuse-project list, if its welcome there--- and if the community will really be willing to dialogue from that venue. There really isn't much point to posting those issues to offtopice particularly if folks don't read them... but from another angle its just as easy to post to a personal blog for that.... again, the point is to have a meaningful dialogue with the community... not just post a diatribe blog style. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
