I am an admin at Suseforums.net along with Keith. I wanted to respond with my ideas. I am curious as to why there is such a push to have an "official" forum. Why not try out first what Pascal & Eberhard were saying and raise the communication level between the different forums and the mailing list. Try to work with what is already existing instead of adding and diluting things some more. If after a few months things aren't working any in the way the community wants, revisit this discussion and then come up with a plan for or against an "official" forum. These are just my thoughts. -Justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
