Ok, so i'm going to take that one personally now. :-) The documentation was put onto en.opensuse.org (a community site, not really a suse URL) because: a) it was available without any effort from my site b) it is easy (for me) to keep it up to date c) users can contribute Point b) is really important, since this is documentation after all and as you surely know, nobody likes doing documentation. Even more so if the handling has considerable overhead (and yes, a user telling me "I did not find the information" and me being able to immediately fix it is a big plus). Point c) seems to be not as important, probably because the documentation just works well for almost everyone except you. Until now, nobody but you ever complained about the quality of s2ram documentation on that site. I had reports of users of all kinds of distributions, from debian to Pardus, and every one of these users was pleased with the documentation on that site. I don't think (but i may be blind, of course, or some hooligans might have vandalized the wiki recently) that there is any SUSE-specific information on that site (other than where to get up-to-date suse packages, and this information is there for all distributions where i knew it). You can go through the changelog and you will find out, that i most of the time only changed stuff to add new features which were implemented or to shuffle around the content a bit when we found that users obviously had problems finding information. So please tell me what you don't like about the _content_ of the documentation, and i'll try to fix it. So far it seems the only thing that you don't like is that there is the string "suse" in the URL. I'll even go further: if you provide me with "vendor neutral" webspace where i can maintain that page as easily as on the opensuse wiki, then i'll seriously consider moving the page there. Note that i'd want that URL not to change every year (something i of course also cannot guarantee with the opensuse URL, but i'm pretty sure that it won't change soon). So come on, show me the facts. -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nürnberg | "Well, surrounding them's out."
