let’s go one better: create a new linux – with all the good features of
openSUSE, windows7, OSX, and playstation 3 combined.

we need a new name for the new operating system, how about:
oSUSE/7XPS3

I couldn’t care less about a new YaST or a new OS, what I want to know is when can I get a robot (open source of course) that will do all my housework for me. That would be a great contribution to world peace. I mean, wars have been started by men who didn’t want to hang around to wash the dishes. 
I have no pseudocode, I do not want to generalize.
On the YaST, I can summarize what is necessary in certain items:
Add full support for IPv6.
Increase support for cloud computing.
Increase management and server monitoring.
Create a module to manage ISP to replace software such as ISPConfig, Webmin, Horde, among others. For example: In ISPConfig you must install several separate packages. The ideal would be to have this module, you install these packages at once and get quick and easy to configure.
Add full support for IPv6.
What are you missing here? I have openSUSE 11.4 and I am fully IPv6 capable. On the system I only used YaST to configure it.
hcvv,
At the test site: Test your IPv6.
I got native IPv6 and IPv4/IPv6 score:
Minor in openSUSE Linux 11.4.
Higher in Windows 7.
I have openSUSE 11.4 Linux and Windows 7 installed on the same computer dual boot.
Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 82.95.184.51
||Your IPv6 address on the public Internet appears to be 2001:980:1d27:1:21b:fcff:fe7f:c1ef||—|—|

Congratulations! You appear to have both IPv4 and IPv6 Internet working. If a publisher publishes to IPv6, your browser will connect using IPv6. Your browser prefers IPv6 over IPv4 when given the choice (this is the expected outcome).
Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6 Internet access.
I got 10 out of 10 for both.
And BTW this is about the functioning of IPv6 on the system, not about YaST’s ability to configure it. Thus my addition above that I reached this by using Yast alone.
I repeat my question: what are you missing in YaST’s capabilities to configure IPv6 on an openSUSE 11.4 system?

AFAIK, openSUSE 11.4 is fully capable of handling IPv6. The only problems happen
with brain-dead name servers that report that they handle IPv6, but actually so
not. That is the source of the timeouts. If this happens to you, complain to
your ISP, or whomever supplies the DDNS, and switch to the Google public name
servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. They work fine with IPv6.
Please @lwfinger, we are NOT talking about the ability of openSUSE 11.4 to handle IPv6, but the OP @genixinfo states that YaST misses the features to configure this. IMHO this means that he thinks that the fully functioning of IPv6 on openSUSE can only be configured by editing configuration files in e.g*./etc/sysconfig/network*. He loathes YaST in this aspect (not openSUSE) and I chalenge him to prove this.

You do realise that at least these two items are highly generalized,
don’t you? There’s absolutely nothing specific or actionable about
“support cloud computing” and “increase management and server monitoring”.

+1, and proves it every more is posted.

Windows has most of that stuff IIRC.
I do not support Microsoft Windows.
I support openSUSE Linux.
Linux is better than Microsoft Windows.
I want to help the openSUSE Linux.
About the test result for this site: Test your IPv6. should be influenced by several factors:
-
Connections and different types of connections.
-
Different countries.
-
Different languages.
-
Hardware differently.
And a very important factor:
- Different operating system.
Why Windows 7 the result is better than in openSUSE Linux 11.4, the two operating systems installed on the same computer dual boot?
Because it is being used the same computer to dual boot, the result of Windows 7 was to be the same openSUSE Linux 11.4, because there is a feature called: network support in TCP/IP connections between different operating systems, different platforms, among other factors because the TCP/IP is cross-platform.
About cloud computing, create a module in YaST to facilitate the installation, configuration and usage, based on Cloudmin.
On increasing the management and monitoring of servers, create a module in YaST to facilitate the installation, configuration and usage, based on Nagios, N2RRD, NagiosVision, Opsview, Shinken and NConf.

Again, you don’t need to provide links to various projects and terms you
use in your posts. Most of the users here are going to know what they
mean.
It comes across as condescending, which I’m guessing is not what you
intend.
Those of us who are talking with you are trying to help you understand
how to make a useful contribution. This is one of those things - when
you say “Cloud computing” and then link to the wikipedia article, it
sounds like you’re implying “those reading my messages have no idea what
I’m talking about so I’m going to help them”. Most of the people you’re
talking to, though, have a clue about things like what cloud computing
is, what SMS is, and what tools like Nagios are - and if they don’t, are
quite capable of using Google to find out.

to me it seems that s/he just discovered those articles and after
reading them for the first time decided they should be brought to our
attention, so we also know about those things . . .

Perhaps, I think it makes the messages much harder to read, myself.
Maybe it presents differently on the web interface, though.

Indeed, it does - just as regular links, not as a term followed by a URL.
