Do you know where that is from? Would be a good signature ;-) > I dispute that it is of no use, the sharing of information and > experience is sometimes all that is required. I agree that newbies can help each other, as everybody knows some parts of information the other one doesnt. But if there is no "moderation" or guidance, a forum wont work I guess. IOW: You need some interested people to take the job of guiding the users and helping to keep up the niveau of such a forum. > Sure the web forum may not have programmers and suse staff answering > questions, but the number of SUSE experts is not fixed, and I believe > a web forum is one part of a newbies journey away from > newbieness...towards your definition of "good". Of course a newbie will (hopefully) learn and get a guru (not pascal ;-) ) once, but therefore he needs people helping him, and information he can read through and try out himself. > ps. Why are the biggest critics of a web forum, people who would never use it? Good point. ;-) I am not trying to keep suse from building up a forum, Im just trying to get every thought about it thought, from considering how many moderators you will need, to how it is integrated in the momentarily environment without splitting.
