no, it's absolutely not that. sorry to have been misunderstood. we, at opensuse.org, are often asked by users where can they ask questions. we redirect them to the communicate page. As was said today, this page is a mess... It was seen that the actual mailing lists could not support all the burden, like the one seen on others distributions sites. You see yourself that your own forum was overloaded. so the first idea was to create our own one. not every body (mostly on the experienced side) like the phpBB like forum, so the discussion. but, discussing, ideas come :-) and so we looked at the already existing forums. The problem is that we have no real contact with them, not beeing users we not even know who are the users and the admins. here my think that the main problem is there. we must know better each others. Forums moderators can greatly benefit from power users knowledge and opensuse staff (both Novell and community members) can benefit from the forums moderators knowledge. so my proposal to share these knowledge, learn from each others, learn also to trust each others. This mean some time spend discussing here or on a similar list, closed one (or of limited subject). for that we needs to meet each others. I was really very surprised to see that nor you nor Damian was subscribers of the present list, for now the central opensuse point. We had some difficulties (small but real) to contact you. this should no more happen. for example, your server problem could have been solved best (by temporary hosting, for example) or advertised by the other members (wait a little, the problemm is transient). :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Quelques images: http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
