We have started to discuss that but we're still far(?) away from having real 
solutions and thought
out concepts on how to do that.

Please read the quite long thread about that here in the archives:
http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Sep/0200.html

Yes we are. Please read the email thread above and you'll see that it isn't an 
easy task but we've
started to think about it ;)

Thanks to Andreas Girardet's work, the following wiki page also summarizes most 
of what has been
discussed so far: http://www.opensuse.org/Packager

Note that we're currently more or less waiting for the SUSE staff to release 
10.0 final to have them
actively involved into that topic. Let's just give them some time to 
concentrate on giving us the
best SUSE Linux that has ever been ;)

Get involved in the discussion as soon as we start picking it up again.
Of course, you may also post your ideas, comments or whatever right now, but it 
would be a lot more
useful in a very few weeks' time.

cheers
