You may remember that a week or two ago I agreed to approach MandrakeSoft about adding a link to the TWiki page, either in the Mandrake footer, or in the newbie welcome letter.
There is a possible legal liability if they agree to the former. They would be taking some legal responsibility for something that they could not control - and we have to accept that this is not reasonable. However, I have today received from Gael Duval an email containing the following paragraphs. <quote> As a result, here is what we can do (and will do): 1) build a page at mandrakelinux.com or @ mandrakesoft.com where newbies (and others) could find interesting pointers about Mandrake. 2) as it's going to be "small and cheap" for beginning, and as we certainly won't want to copy-paste the Twiki site (!), we will put and highlight the newbie Twiki site on this page. 3) in all newbie emails, we put a "S.O.S." link or similar, to the Mdk page which includes the link to Twiki. </quote> This should be a great help to new members of the community. The latest Community Newsletter did, of course, give the TWiki some publicity, and perhaps that explains the huge number of new sign-ups <g>. There is a growing confidence that this site is and will be a genuine benefit to Mandrake users. Anne
