Here's my 2 cents.  I don't mind using the existing community forums for
Suse, but can't say I really enjoy (just my opinion).  I've received a
lot of friendly help and been able to offer a lot of friendly help on
the various sites.  Here's my only problem with them:  I log into 3
different sites, I usually end up posting on 3 different sites, I search
for my answers on 3 different sites, I look for people to help on three
different sites.  Honestly, this has caused me to burn out on supporting
any of the Suse forums.  I just don't have the time.

I agree with all the opinions being stated about not working against the
community.  However, I feel that there has to be a more efficient method
to this.  Maybe some kind of proxy access into the various forums.  I
really don't have a clue, just starting some brainstorming for those of
you who know more than I do (that's most of you).

We all know that a lot of newbies find there way into forums long before
they can find their way around a mailing list.  In the past, I've
enjoyed helping these folks find their lizard feet, but it just takes
too much times these days.  I know some of you may be thinking, why
don't you just stick to one? The answer is simple:  I want access to all
of what the Suse community knows and needs (we do have the technology).
Besides, I've tried that.  I think I still have a post out that has
never received any replies.

We've had a great community surrounding Suse for a very long time.  That
community is growing very quickly.  I just think it would be worth some
time and consideration to figure out how we bring the seemingly
disjoined parts of our community a little closer together, especially on
a functional level.

So that more like ten cents.  Thanks for hearing me out.

Daniel
