How are the openSUSE news?

[STS301]

Hi

What do you think how are the openSUSE news?

Should be something changed, should it be how it is or do you have any other aspects/questions.

I vote good, always room for improvement.
Maybe they need to be more interesting, from a marketing point of view (sell me the news )

this would be nice to introduce, I will ask for that in the next meeting.

Basically, it's really nice, but as you already mentioned on planetsuse, we need more content.

But something puzzles me: what's the audience ?
If the only people who read weekly news are the same who read PlanetSUSE and follow a few mailing-lists, then it probably makes no sense to write the weekly news. Personally, as I'm subscribed to most lists and reading PlanetSUSE all the time, I usually don't read the weekly news as they "only" rehash things I already saw elsewhere (which is the whole point of the weekly news ).

The news are only really useful if they are read by an audience that typically does not read PlanetSUSE and the mailing-lists.
Or the forums, for that matter. If there was more forum related content in the weekly news (hint, hint to the forum contributors ).

[STS301]

this is right, because they are our news sources. We are doing that just in our free time and our time is limmited and not enough to write the whole news by ourself.

For example translating the whole news takes me nearly 3 1/2 hours.

Features are not known. I´d like to see tasks-features and how is their progress. Like Fedora has.
BrainStorming Prague - openSUSE...

yea, it may be, but where could we see the progress of features?

I'm one of those that doesn't get the time to read Planet Suse & mailing lists for me it's a place to get a quick summary of what's going on. The weekly news also makes a good starting point if I wish to read in depth on a subject.

This may be a little off topic,but that spam protection for the Comments in Opensuse News. May I suggest a distorted letter number display? That stuff like, "What is f-ive + s-even?" It took me 3 tries to get it!
