If you are referring to Launchpad, used in K/Ubuntu, then I totally agree. A most useful source of information for those users.
To all: It would be nice, in order to address Lars question in a rounded discusson, to open new thread, possibly on opensuse-project@opensuse.org mail list. It is a good place to discuss project related issues (and infrastructure is one). We can compare Launchpad vs. comparable services that provides openSUSE. Probably it would be even better to make use of openSUSE Wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Infrastructure_improvements (it is empty now), list features of Launchpad and compare them to our infrastructure. Let people fix article and after some time, say 7 days, close that and open discussion on a project mail list. In a few rounds of described process we should have clear idea what has to be improved and in which order, fill http://features.opensuse.org with descriptions and then go and look for developers that can do that. They can be SUSE employees, but also just about anybody looking for something to do, like students participating in GSoC. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/opensuse is good place to add tasks that can be done by one student participant in a allotted time. In other words those that look for developers, at GSoC will be plethora of candidates, all young, restless and qualified. For those complaining about sending to another mail list, I must remind present that opensuse@opensuse.org is generic list where discussion can be started if user has no idea where it belongs, but then it should be moved if there is a better place. Also, don't forget to reference here mail list archive URL of opening article in another mail list and there for instance this thread, that was moved, so that people can actually follow discussion. This little convenience is your contribution to better communication, without single developer hour needed, so without excuse why is not implemented. PS. There can be proposed improvements to mail list traffic and corresponding archives, but I'll give other readers time to discover what are the problems and propose improvements. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
