Just a few thoughts, off the top of my head: - packagers: we need more packagers, don't forget that the whole thing is happening around a distribution, made of packages
The packages I lack are Yast modules. Now let's go to the second topic - docs:
- howtos and documentation: have a look at Gentoo's wiki, IMO that's a direction we can follow (grossly), by writing wiki pages e.g. about how to setup LAMP on SUSE Linux, an IMAP server, stuff like that
Here we totally lack good Yast Tutorials & Documentation. (unfortunately the *only* tutorial I was able to find was FOSDEM 2006) Nothing found - not what Yast does behide the scenes - and not how to program it's modules & new frontends for Yast itself (GTK, Web).
