Well said!

I guess we will have additional mailinglists on special topics (like
packaging) soon. Creating a user list @openSUSE.org is something which
should be avoided, because there are already that kind of lists @suse.com,
which shoulnd't be replaced and/or duplicated. Keep in mind, that this is
all about SUSE Linux...!

Just a very short comment on web forums: The problem I see there is, that
we don't have an "official" (web-)forum (yet). We didn't say, ok, let's
create yet another forum, to create the community. One of the main goals
that we defined, before we launched the openSUSE project, was to bring
together existing community efforts _but_ by no means replace or pass
those existing communities over. To succeed in the end-user related areas
and to take some traffic of this list, (web-) forums will be inevitable in
my opinion.
