I wonder if the problem is because of the duplication of tasks and programs
between the SuSE / Factory and what we are trying to deal with on openSuSE.
Maybe what we should be doing is logically separating us?
As an example of what I mean:
Lets leave the creation & supply of the BASIC SuSE Linux packages to Novell
SuSE and the Factory systems. After all they do that now far better than we
ever could!
Let us split our community away to handle tasks such as:-
a) assist with small useage \ new idea packages and
unexpected extension
requirements to existing packages.
b) assist as we do now in "field" testing through the beta
program, but not
only SuSE's but other packages that need larger
variations of testers.
c) assist as we do now in the problem fix process.
d) documentation, not only "how to use" types, but "using
this with these
extensions this way allows you to do this" as well
as "this plus this
plus this and either this or this but not including
this" makes a
"qqqq" server. I, for example have decided to spend
my available time
this year in creating a "Mini-Command Useage" Manual
that lists
commands, what they are, their extensions plus a
number of standard
used matrixes (such as ls -la) and what they give
you back. It will be
able to be printed out as a mini-manual (a5/2 flip)
or a cardfile format for
pda's etc. But I will say more on this when I have
my thoughts in
propper order and under an appropriate subject
header (of which this is
not).
e) design and create the direction specifications of what we
think users
will be wanting in the near future.
f) provide support to our communities across the world by
assisting with
technical translation of ideas and "command formats"
This is what I thought the openSuSE community was created for?
just my thoughts
