I won't really want to startup again the forum flamewar, but
I want to clarify some details.
there are some subjects that creates flames on the opensuse
mailing lists. from them are "forums" and "lists subject".
Why?
Why are these subject so "hot"?
I think that openSUSE is slowly growing and that this growth
ends up in some problems.
one or two mailing lists are all what is necessary for most
projects. As long as this is the case, sorting the mails is
not too difficult.
But as the project grow, the number of mails encrease.
At this very moment, the natural solution is to create new
mailing lists. But as traffic get increasing, this solution
become odd.
right now, having to subscribe independently to _11_
opensuse lists as I should do is really inconvenient. Not
only I have to make 11 different mails to the bot, answer to
11 different acknowledgement requests, but I become unable
to sort between the lists, know on what list to write and
where a mail was sent.
We simply can't ask newcommers to sort this out. We need a
centralized login/subscribing system.
I really don't mind what this system will be -I prefere
news, but will use anyone available, but sure we need one.
and whatever will be choosen, make sure some time in the
future wi'll need also all the other solutions (news, forum,
blogs, whatever will be invented then... MSN, IRC, SKYPE...
in fact the only real question is: do we want to have these
communication channels under control or not? do we want
active users to become active openSUSE users or active
Linuxdoc, slashdot... users and lose them?
so we need a system with only one login (it's already quite
unpleasant to have to log separately in localized wiki and
english one-if I'm connected on fr and come on en, I'm not
recognised right on the spot, I need to go to logon (I don't
have to retype the login/passwd).
