My feeling was that the main opposition to a web forum was the alienation of an existing community. Part of the existing community was invited, and it turned out that they weren't really upset, and/or very excited about the whole concept, as they don't (nor want to) follow the development of openSUSE the project, I gather they are mostly just interested in SUSE Linux. I do object to the introduction of terms like "1st class citizens", and the existing moderators have a combined opinion worth 80% of the whole community. I think these are alienating and divisive words, even if Pascal didn't mean them to be. Ok, so plan is that there is webforum discussion hosted on a webforum somewhere where the existing moderators are invited, as many as possible. Will that be an open discussion? What is the agenda? How will anything be decided? A vote of moderators that outweigh the opensuse community? I hope not, because that WILL be alienating a community. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin
