Our suseforums.net staff has long been advised to refer folks to
official bug tracking mechanisms, but it's historically been advising
the original poster. I'm in full agreement that this purpose would be
better served if staff were more active in the exchange of information
to/from the "official community". Aside from increasing suseforums.net
staff awareness on this idea, what would be our first steps toward
ensuring better cooperation and information exchange?
Pascal & Eberhard?
You have both talked (in this thread and earlier) about that we should
build on the old, don't harm existing forums, etc. But how do you
propose that that will happen? I haven't seen any details of this
"enforce the communication between the moderators and the 'community
kernel'". How is any such thing going to be 'enforced'?
For me, this enforcement is a very simple personal step: I have started
to read the existing forums, and sometimes to write where I think I
should.
The one thing the web forum discussion has shown , is that there is a
genuine need to try to consolidate a splintered SUSE community,
through some mechanism.
The mechanism is: "diffunding" into the other side - we (as individuals)
into the forums, the forum moderators into the mailinglists.
I am not trying to troll, I just haven't seen anybody explain the step
from where we are now and where we will be in 6, 12, 18 months, going
down this path.
If one can answer this question satisfactorily, then we have less need
for our own forum.
If one can't, then Houghi is right, the Web forum discussion will be
eternal until we have one.
Take a look into the forums, try to find "your" themes there, and follow
the threads for a while. You will find a "society" with more people
speaking than here, with a good discipline and active "education". It is
not my world, but the "living" there has a very high cultural level, and
their themes are our themes.
Cheers -e
