I have put the draft of the strategy on the wiki. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Strategy_draft There is a section about the user as well so it might help you with your question. The strategy is not official yet, but there were many people from the community involved and it is reviewed by the board. So I think the big direction will not change anymore. I hope we can vote on the strategy before the creation of the foundation.
