I know this is an already discussed story, but this one was *not* discused in deep and I think it's more and more necessary.
That is creating a true newsgroup for the opensuse list (and at least the OT one)
* this is only a matter of server config, it can easily be connected with the mailing-list (my LUG server do so).
* I know of gmane, but gmane don't have all the newsgroups capacity
* I *don't* speak about forum ala phpbb...
* many, if not all the mailing list users have a broadband access (a modem is not suitable with this hudge amount of mails)
advantages: * much simpler for hudge volume list like opensuse one. I know of newsgroups accomoding *5000* post *a day* (not to say it's good, but much better than list)
* allow post *cancel*
* never have to receive twice an answer
* it's way better for archive access, at least recent ones, as one can answer to an old post (impossible now on opensuse if the post is deleted locally)
* allow fu2 - one can begin a discussion on opensuse with a follow up to (fu2) OT, for example. There so many OT discussion on opensuse mailing list than only this should be a good reason. This mean that all the answers are automagically transmitted not to the original list but to the fu2 list, that is here, for example, OT.
* If you don't read the list (vacations), there is nothing to do
I personnally have two opensuse suse subscription: mailing list and gmane. I use gmane only for archive use
It's possible but not necessary to do he same with the other opensuse-x lists ...
We have it. Though, many on this list will have hard time as formus are moderated and anything not technical is deleted and user warned. I have seen both. Sincerely better chance for new users to get help is any of below forums than this list. There is no so many helpers, but there is no OT noise too. This is enhaced list based on Bjørn Lie post. http://forums.novell.com/ http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/ http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/development-build/ http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/general-applications/ http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/gnome/ http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/Install-Configure-Administr... http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/KDE http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/Networking http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/Printing http://forums.novell.com/opensuse-support-forums/Updates-Patches http://forums.novell.com/faq.php nntp://forums.novell.com/ http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_nntp -- Regards, Rajko.
