[snipped lot of stuff about deserving an email address]
I can't believe you guys are arguing about who should get what kind of
email-address. How about we have Novell create a new mailing list:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
has a nice ring to it, does it not?
Well, I just started contributing to opensuse by translating a couple of
pages on the wiki (oh, darn, I should post that to the opensuse-wiki
mailing list I guess), so according to you I would not (yet) be eligible
for an opensuse email address, but if it was up to houghi, I would
actually get one.
Guess what? I couldn't care less about another email-address or not.
What I care about is that I virtually can't find any information on
opensuse.org that goes beyond how to download the latest release.
I occasionally see a link posted here or on another opensuse mailing
list i subscribed to, and i keep asking myself: how did he (or she) find
that particular bit of information? i keep trying, but either I get
dead-ends or I'm drowned in search results. Another thing: I find a
page, see that it has already been translated and move on to another
page. The next day I happen to visit that same page again, it looks the
same, only the link to the translated page is suddenly gone. What kind
crap is that? No matter if a wiki (and opensuse is a wiki, right?) is an
ever-evolving thing or not. As a user I prefer some stability. When I
visit a webpage I expect to find it again tomorrow, even more so when
it's a corporate webpage. And I get annoyed when one of the main pages
changes daily, like it happened with
http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation.

that was totally out of line. smiley or not.

No, not arrogant, but losing yourself (and some really good points in
your original posting) in imho totally fruitless discussions about some
really. really, really (may I say it again: really!) unimportant things.
