Hi all ! My thoughts ... on the wiki-spam thread - applies to the whole iFolder "project".
SRI, but it's that simple: if "Novell" want's a "Community" to do some work on a wiki, _we_ (=both) need to have the technical requirements (=good functioning wiki) and _we_ need communication (to share ideas/positions/information). I attended some of the openSUSE status meetings and i really think that's the way to go. No one wants to prevent novell from making money (ok, competitors maybe ;) ... but at least no one out of the community committed to the several projects) - so fantastic that iFolder is part of OES2 - great to have a professional solution for that. But why is there no communication ... ? The code is GPLed so that's no secret. That's more likely the integration in eDir and the management interface in OES2. I really know the team in Bangalore is busy (OES2). So don't feel blamed by my writing here. My intention is more likely to establish a good way where you (devs/novell) profit from an active community and we (community) get a fascinating piece of software in return. My thoughts about iFolder is that it's a great software, but it needs more publicity. This means more users. If they feel comfortable with it (and i've no doubt they will), this also leads to more bussiness for novell because companies then use it and need solutions for their environments. So why not create a community and use word of mouth propaganda _in addition to_ the typical marketing. So these were my 2 cent on the situation ... what are your's ?
