our xml sources are the single source for documentation for all SUSE
Linux / openSUSE based products (e.g. the former SUSE Linux, SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server, SUSE LInux Enterprise Desktop,...).
So each change to the sources may have an affect on the different
documentation sets we are building from this source. Therefore we need
to be extra careful when merging "3rd party" contributions into our
documentation.
So, we really appreciate feedback and user contributions, but need to
have full control on what goes back into our sources. Therefore
the "RPITA way" of accepting contributions ;-)).
