If you look at the wiki page, on the Problem paragraph, it becomes clear that the issue is an attempt to reduce user confusion and bug reporting.
For Yast developers, they may have assumed that the problem is because of the current look and feel and that it needed to be changed somehow. In fact, what has happened is that instead of complaining about the look and feel, we've said "No, the look and feel is just fine. It is ....(fill in the blank)... that is the problem." That's far more valuable feedback for the survey than you may think. I'll restate my earlier posting here. A survey is about finding out what people think/perceive and whether those thoughts/perceptions were similar to what the surveyor thought/perceived. This survey has taken on an entirely different animal than what appears to have been intended in the literal translation of the original post. Nevertheless, you can't say that it is wrong. In my nearly 2 months here, this is the first time I've seen such vigorous debate about Yast, and that has to be a good thing no matter what. I am certain that the Yast developers completely appreciate what has transformed here. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
