Maybe not, but maybe....
opensuse-project is ok...
opensuse-ux should probably be opensuse-useability
and opensuse-offtopic should probably be opensuse-nontechnical
opensuse should be opensuse-technical
... and the reason is that opensuse sounds like: opensuse-general ??
I realize that there are some who just want the technical and are not
so much
concerned for the community... and by that I mean the interaction of the
community members to each other... on various levels. For the community to
bond, grow, become a cohesive entity the community members need to get to
know each other, and for other than technical merits of opensuse. This is
particularly important from a worldview standpoint. I have always believed
in world peace through world trade... and old IBM principle... and I believe
even stronger today in world peace through world development and ownership...
openSUSE style, Ubuntu style, etc. World-wide discussion lists which provide
cohesive venues for wholesome dialogue among nations and people groups is
just plain awesome. Even when things get a little tense sometimes, free
communication fosters understanding and brotherhood. The point is, to be
able to interact with the openSUSE community world-wide (not just the USA, or
the EU, etc) is the major benefit of the list servers... I am in favor of
placing social, patent, copyleft, FOSS specific to openSUSE, on the
opensuse-project list, if its welcome there--- and if the community will
really be willing to dialogue from that venue. There really isn't much
point to posting those issues to offtopice particularly if folks don't read
them... but from another angle its just as easy to post to a personal blog
for that.... again, the point is to have a meaningful dialogue with the
community... not just post a diatribe blog style.
